AIADMK leaders, Sasikala visit rain-hit areas

All the three leaders distribute relief materials to the affected people

AIADMK coordinator O. Panneerselvam, co-coordinator Edappadi K Palaniswami and the former interim general secretary, V.K. Sasikala, on Friday separately visited different rain-affected areas of Chennai.

While Mr. Panneerselvam covered parts of West Mambalam, Virugambakkam, Kotturpuram, Saidapet and Villivakkam, Mr. Palaniswami went to Pushpa Nagar at Nungambakkam, Velachery, Teynampet, Mylapore, Kottivakkam, East Tambaram and Keelkattalai. Ms. Sasikala spent some time at T. Nagar, Saidapet, Kotturpuram, Vadapalani, K.K. Nagar, Koyambedu and Otteri. All the three leaders distributed relief materials to the affected people.

Asked about Chief Minister M.K. Stalin’s charge against the previous AIADMK government over flood management, Mr. Panneerselvam replied that the present government should not shirk its responsibility by levelling criticism against its predecessor. “People are expecting the Chief Minister to fulfil his election promises. It ill behoves the government to engage itself in debates or arguments.”
