Tamil Nadu BJP President Annamalai has questioned whether Stalin has the moral right to remain the chief minister amid the increasing number of deaths due to alcohol consumption in Kallakurichi district Karunapuram.
The number of people who died due to drinking liquor in Karunapuram of Kallakurichi district is continuously increasing. So far 37 people have died after drinking fake liquor. Another 95 people have been admitted to various hospitals including Kallakurichi, Villupuram, Salem, Jipmar.
Various political parties have been accusing Tamil Nadu government’s negligence for the death of innocent people after drinking liquor. They are also demanding that Chief Minister Stalin should resign. In that way, Tamil Nadu BJP leader Annamalai condemned the Tamil Nadu government and announced that a statewide demonstration would be held the day after tomorrow.
In his tweet, the news that more than 35 lives have been lost due to counterfeit liquor in Kallakurichi is shocking and painful. We are going to go to Kallakurichi in person and meet the families of the deceased and those undergoing treatment in the hospital to express our condolences.
Tamil Nadu BJP will always support their family. The death tolls in the last two years of the DMK regime are causing fears that Tamil Nadu is going back forty years as it did in the 1980s.
Yesterday, we were asking Chief Minister Mukherjee Stalin to remove the Prohibition and Prohibition Minister. But after nearly 60 lives have been lost to bootleg liquor in the last two years, he must consider whether he has the moral right to continue as chief minister.
He said that he would like to announce that a statewide demonstration will be held on behalf of the Tamil Nadu BJP on June 22 to condemn the inaction of the DMK government, which continues to act in a lax way without stopping the sale of bootleg liquor in Tamil Nadu, resulting in the loss of many lives.
