PMK leader faults both the DMK and the AIADMK
PMK’s youth wing leader Anbumani Ramadoss on Wednesday said both the DMK and the AIADMK did not do anything for developing the urban areas in the last 55 years. The PMK would bring in the much needed change, he added.
Addressing the media while campaigning for party candidates here, he said the State was more urbanised as 52% of the population lived in urban areas. “It is expected to be 62% in another 10 years and due to lack of employment opportunities and drop in farming activities, more people from rural areas are moving to urban areas,” he said. No development had taken place in cities all these years.
To a question whether the DMK had fulfilled its election promises, Dr. Ramadoss said it was yet to do so as 80% of its time was focussed on controlling COVID-19 and added that the AIADMK, that was in power for 10 years, did not do anything.
