AIADMK general secretary Edappadi K Palaniswami on Wednesday said that "widespread sale of narcotics" is making youngsters "addicted towards crimes" like murder, robbery, and rape, and slammed the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) government for "not taking" any action.
Speaking to reporters, Palaniswami said, "In the past, people used to ask about gold rates or silver rates. Now, it's about the 'murder rate.' The widespread sale of narcotics is making youngsters addicted, pushing them into crimes like murder, robbery, and rape. The DMK government has not taken any action to prevent this."
The Leader of Opposition (LoP) in the state assembly further claimed that under the DMK, 207 government schools were shut in Tamil Nadu.
