Quit office to solve all problems
Jayalalithaa tells Karunanidhi
CHENNAI: AIADMK General Secretary J Jayalalithaa told Chief Minister
M Karunanidhi that stepping down from office would be a panacea both for
his family problems as well as the problems faced by the people of Tamil
Nadu on all fronts.
“Karunanidhi can solve neither the problems of the people of Tamil
Nadu nor the plight of the Sri Lankan Tamils because the worries about
his own family are filling his mind.. as such if he resigns the Chief
Minister’s post, it will resolve all problems at one stroke and a
prosperous future will dawn for the people of Tamil Nadu,” Jayalalithaa
said in a statement here on Saturday.
She also demanded that Karunanidhi should come forward to dissolve
the present Assembly. Referring to the remark of Karunanidhi that he was
satisfied with the performance of his Government because of a number of
achievements, Jayalalithaa said Karunanidhi had made a laughable
statement.
Giving a detailed account on the hardships faced by the people of all
sections of society due to power cuts, rise in the prices of all
commodities especially vegetables, Jayalalithaa said due to
Karunanidhi’s administrative inefficiency, all sectors were lagging
behind in progress.
The AIADMK chief said instead of trying to cheat the people by
playing gimmicks like selling certain commodities through the PDS, the
Chief Minister should take genuine steps to bring down the prices of all
essential commodities in open market.
Jayalalithaa said the prices of all vegetables had gone up from 50
per cent 100 per cent and the prices of tomato, beans, carrot, drumstick
were being sold at Rs.60 per kg in local markets. No vegetable is
available for less than Rs.25 per kg, she added. Stating that the law
and order was getting deteriorated day by day, Jayalalithaa pointed out
that an attempt was made to murder a lifer taking treatment at a
government hospital in Cuddalore a few days ago.
