MADURAI: BJP State President K Annamalai said the DMK government has hindered the police from carrying out their duties, and cited the two recent cases of assault near women’s colleges in the city. “Even though the public were affected in Sathankulam and Thoothukudi, it does not mean all police actions were wrong. The police need to use lathi whenever needed to maintain law and order.
"The DMK government tried to cover up the Coimbatore car blast, but the BJP played a key role in bringing out the facts of the matter,” he said, adding that the party would stage protests in 1,200 places on November 15 against price hikes by Aavin.
Annamalai further said the BJP would again win the Gujarat Assembly election. Speaking about the itinerary of the prime minister in Madurai, he said Modi would land at 1.50 pm on Friday and attend a convocation ceremony at Gandhigram Rural Institute. After the event, he would leave around 4.30 pm from the airport to Visakhapatnam.
