Karunanidhi enacting a drama on dam issue: Jayalalithaa

Special Correspondent



Jayalalithaa

CHENNAI: The DMK government’s stand on the Mullaperiyar issue indicates “a total lack of concern about the rights or needs of the people of Tamil Nadu,” AIADMK general secretary Jayalalithaa has said.

Recalling that the DMK had planned a protest meeting in Madurai on the issue and changed it later, she said: “On the night of October 28, [Chief Minister M.] Karunanidhi conveniently remembered that the case relating to the Mullaperiyar issue was being heard by the Supreme Court. He equally conveniently forgot that a little over a year ago, he had organised a bandh and a protest meeting in Chennai on the Sethusamudram issue, even though the Supreme Court was hearing a case on it. Sethusamudram was a different cup of tea… Citing the Supreme Court case that has been going on for years, [Mr.] Karunanidhi called off the public meeting organised in Madurai.”

Ms. Jayalalithaa accused the Chief Minister of enacting a drama. “The people are being cheated. They are being taken for a ride. They are made to suffer… I had said that he had bartered away the rights of the people of Tamil Nadu… The recent developments only confirm what I said.”
