Ex-minister KC Karuppannan said that bootleggers should be shot dead. Erode AIADMK held a protest against the sale of poisoned liquor and deaths in Kallakurichi.
In his speech, he said: Everywhere in Tamil Nadu the sale of illicit liquor and drug sales creased. I have never seen such bad governance. Over 55 people have died in one town Karunanagar in Kallakurichi. In the legislature, Chief Minister Stalin does not come forward to answer the opposition parties. AIADMK members are thrown out of it. When there was a struggle in our rule, we answered. But now he is not willing to answer. Liquor business has been going on in Kallakurichi for many years. Why didn't the government come forward to shoot them down. DMK's Zafar Sait was arrested in Delhi. Ganja worth Rs 2000 crore seized. Even if the police know, liquor and ganja sales are done. They do not come forward to arrest the sellers. So, Stalin's government should step down for failing to maintain law and order. Thus he spoke. Former minister Sengottaiyan, MLAs Jayakumar, Pannari, former minister KV Ramalingam, functionaries Ranjithraj, KC Palanisamy, and others participated in the program.
