AIADMK holds state wide protest against UPA
Chennai: AIADMK on Thursday staged state-wide protests against the Centre on many issues, including the Cauvery crisis.
Chief Minister Jayalalithaa had last week announced that her party will stage protests in front of Central government offices on various issues, including hike in diesel price and railway fare and over ‘denial’ of the state’s rights.
Jayalalithaa had last week alleged “the Congress-led UPA Government was bent upon stifling the rights of states dealing a blow to the Federal character enshrined in the Constitution and rejecting the just demands of non-congress ruled states.”
She had accused the Centre of maintaining silence on the issue of notifying the Cauvery tribunal’s final award because of political reasons. The DMK, a key ally of UPA, remained a mute spectator for ‘selfish’ motives.
