DMK regime accused of turning Tamil Nadu into ‘hub of drug abuse’

AIADMK general secretary Edappadi K. Palaniswami has accused the DMK regime of converting the State into a “hub of drug abuse” in the past three years. The DMK government completes three years in power this month.

In a statement, Mr. Palaniswami alleged that some members of the ruling party themselves were involved in the “smuggling of drugs.”

He said law and order in the State had “deteriorated” with the incidence of murders, robberies, and sexual violence on the rise.

He also satirically described the increase in the rates of property tax and power tariff as a “gift” to the people of the State.
