CHENNAI: The All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam on Wednesday authorised its general secretary Jayalalithaa to hold talks with other parties for striking alliances during elections to be held to the Lok Sabha, Assembly and local bodies over the next one year.
The resolution was adopted at the party general council held at Vanagaram near here. Besides this, 29 other resolutions were adopted. Through another resolution, the party blamed the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam government for providing a “fresh lease of life” to the culture of violence and being careless about people’s security. It contended that the State was becoming the headquarters of extremists.
Criticising the DMK regime for “having failed” to contain the rise in prices of essential commodities, the AIADMK said when it was in power, the State experienced successive natural disasters, but the prices were kept under control.
During the DMK rule, there had been no natural disasters, yet the prices were going up steeply.
Expressing concern over the increase in the price of cement, the AIADMK said prices of other inputs, including brick and sand, had also gone up, affecting construction workers, the middle class and the poor.
It called the State government’s cement scheme “unrealistic and useless.”
The party criticised the DMK government for the shortage of power in the State.
The party demanded that the Centre enact a law providing 33 per cent reservation for women in legislature without any further delay.
It criticised the State government for not holding elections to cooperative societies.
Sethu project
It condemned the Union and State governments for insisting on the implementation of the Sethusamudram ship channel project without bothering about the livelihood of fisherfolk and the impact on environment.
The Ramar Setu, regarded as an ancient monument, was sought to be demolished.
