Chief Minister M.K. Stalin on Tuesday called upon the BJP members in the Assembly to focus on issues facing the poor and the downtrodden and pointed to increasing prices of petrol, diesel and cooking gas cylinders.
When BJP member Vanathi Srinivasan (Coimbatore South) raised the issue of officials of the Hindu Religious and Charitable Endowments (HR&CE) Department taking over the administration of Ayodhya Mandapam in West Mambalam, HR&CE Minister P.K. Sekar Babu replied, but the Chief Minister sought to intervene on the issue.
A case relating to the issue was in the court and a judgment was being expected and Mr. Sekar Babu had replied to her too. Therefore, the Chief Minister said, he did not intend to go into the issue.
