Tamil Nadu BJP president K. Annamalai on Tuesday said the State government machinery was dysfunctional, and urged Chief Minister M.K. Stalin to set aside his other priorities and focus on flood relief and rescue efforts.
In a statement, he said the State government, which ought to be working on a war footing during a disaster, had shown its inefficiency and was blaming the India Meteorological Department instead.
“Chief Minister M.K. Stalin has gone to New Delhi to meet INDIA bloc leaders and finalise the alliance for the 2024 Lok Sabha election, when people in Kanniyakumari, Tenkasi, Thoothukudi and Tirunelveli districts are struggling to get food and water due to heavy rain and floods. As far as the DMK is concerned, being in power is about getting commission, engaging in corruption, stealing natural resources and exploiting river sand. It does not care about the welfare of the people or providing relief during natural disasters,” he said.
