Dravidian govts failed to build dams in Tamil Nadu: Premalatha Vijayakanth
Premalatha Vijayakanth KRISHNAGIRI: No new dam has been built in Tamil Nadu since the construction of the Krishnagiri Reservoir Project (KRP) dam in 1957 when K Kamaraj was the chief minister of the state, DMDK general secretary Premalatha Vijayakanth said on Monday. She condemned the Davidian parties that ruled the state over the years for what she called their failure to build new dams. She alleged that the present leaders were misappropriating public funds without maintaining dams. She said the ruling party was exploiting mineral resources and misleading the people. Premalatha was speaking to reporters after leading a demonstration in Krishnagiri in support of mango farmers who face losses.

"In the same way, people leasing mango farms incur a loss of Rs 53,000 per acre," she said and urged the state govt to provide a relief of Rs 10,000 per acre to mango farmers. She said farmers were suffering hardships. "Agriculture is the backbone of our nation, and the country's advancement depends on the progress of its farmers," she said. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Egypt: New Small Electric Car For Seniors.

When police requested them to remove it, DMDK members refused, leading to a confrontation between the police and the party supporters. However, the situation was resolved soon.
