Tamil Nadu Dengue Deaths: Stalin accuses govt of hiding the truth
Chennai: DMK alleged that the ruling AIADMK was not disclosing the actual deaths due to dengue in the state since it is "high."
"Since those who were affected by dengue and the number of people who died due to it is high, they (the State government) are not disclosing the details and hiding the truth," DMK working president M K Stalin told reporters here.
Stalin, the Leader of Opposition in the Assembly, has been taking potshots at the AIADMK government, describing it as "dengue regime," while alleging inaction on the issue.
"I have already said that the dengue problem will be over only if the dengue regime is out," he said.
Chief Minister K Palaniswami recently slammed Stalin for his remarks alleging that he was levelling such allegations "wantonly in a planned fashion," and doing it to "denigrate this government."
Palaniswami had also said the state government was working at full swing to halt the spread of dengue and eradicate it besides hitting out at the DMK for seeking to politicise the issue.
