The ruling DMK and the principal Opposition AIADMK took potshots at each other in the Assembly on Tuesday over non-implementation of promises.
During a debate, AIADMK MLA K. Ashokkumar (Krishnagiri) read out a list of the DMK’s assurances that he said were not honoured. With respect to employment by the Department of Hindu Religious and Charitable Endowments, Minister P.K. Sekarbabu clarified that 2,500 youths would be recruited by the end of this year.
When Mr. Ashokkumar went about listing the promises not implemented so far, Minister for Public Works E.V. Velu intervened and said the tenure of the government was for five years and not all promises could be kept in a year. He wondered whether the AIADMK government had done so.
