Anbumani Marches On, No Hiccup on the Way

The yatra, which began near the Chengalpattu Government Hospital, proceeded up to Rattinam Kinaru, where Anbumani addressed a public gathering.

"I have not come here to seek votes, but to tell you who should not return to power. The DMK government has failed Tamil Nadu," he told the gathering.

He alleged that of the 541 poll promises made by the DMK, only 60 have been fulfilled, yet the DMK falsely claims that 90% of the promises have been implemented.

He criticised the state's handling of sand mining, claiming that the government avoids building check dams to protect illegal sand mining operations.
