Chennai, Nov 20 (NationPress) The All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (AIADMK) has declared a significant protest in Kallakurichi district, accusing the M.K. Stalin-led DMK administration of extensive administrative failures, abuse of power, and inadequate implementation of public welfare initiatives.

In a pointed statement by AIADMK General Secretary Edappadi K. Palaniswami, the opposition leader asserted that essential government sectors -- such as the Highways Department, Public Works Department (PWD), and Rural Development Department -- are executing welfare and infrastructure projects in the district in a substandard and negligent manner.

He claimed that the quality of projects underway under the DMK leadership has significantly deteriorated, resulting in local communities feeling discontented.

Palaniswami further alleged that the state government is misusing its authority during the ongoing Special Summary Revision (SSR) voter verification process.

He suggested that polling booth-level officers involved in the verification process are being intimidated and coerced, fostering a climate of fear and compromising the integrity of the electoral roll update.

According to him, the DMK government has consistently ignored numerous irregularities and grievances raised during this process. To uncover and oppose what they characterize as the DMK's undemocratic practices, the AIADMK has scheduled a substantial protest demonstration for Friday at 10 a.m. near the Dr B.R. Ambedkar statue on Kacheri Road in Kallakurichi municipality.

The protest will be spearheaded by former MLA and district secretary I. Kumaraguru. Numerous AIADMK district officials, office-holders of affiliated organizations, current and former MLAs and MPs, local body representatives, former cooperative society officials, and party members from all units across Kallakurichi district are anticipated to attend in large numbers.

The party has also called upon the general public to join the protest to express their concerns regarding what they label as the government's administrative shortcomings. AIADMK leaders assert that discontent among the populace in the region is escalating, and the protest aims to bring these issues to the forefront while demanding accountability from the ruling government.

With a few months remaining before the Tamil Nadu Assembly elections, the demonstration is poised to be a pivotal moment in the district's political mobilization. The party has stressed that Friday's protest will serve as a display of strength against the DMK government's mismanagement, intimidation, and abuse of power, urging party members to participate in substantial numbers to ensure the event's success.
