BJP attacks Stalin government
BJP state president K Annamalai slammed MK Stalin-led DMK government, saying Tamil Nadu has become a breeding ground of unlawful activities and a haven for criminals. Women don’t feel safe in the State anymore, he asserted in a post on X.
"It is absolutely shocking to hear the news of the Sexual Assault of a Student at Anna University, the premier Institute of TN, situated in the heart of Chennai, by 2 miscreants. @BJP4TamilNadu demands that the miscreants be immediately arrested. Tamil Nadu, under the DMK Government, has become a breeding ground of unlawful activities and a haven for criminals. Women don’t feel safe in the State anymore, as the Police are kept busy by the ruling administration to silence the opposition. BJP Tamil Nadu has to call for a protest for the police to act if the criminal is a functionary of DMK. This is the dire state of law & order in the State. @BJP4TamilNadu demands that the Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu takes responsibility at least now and addresses the people on the Status of this sexual assault case in Anna University and do justice to the portfolio he holds," his post read.
