DMK President MK Stalin today issued a sharp critique of the TVK government's recent industrial power tariff adjustments. Addressing a press conference at Anna Arivalayam, Stalin argued that the hike would cripple the MSME sector in Coimbatore and Salem, leading to job losses and reduced industrial output. He demanded an immediate white paper on the financial health of TANGEDCO.
The DMK has announced a series of state-wide protests scheduled for next week, urging the government to reconsider the tariff structure. Stalin stated that the party would mobilize its district secretaries to hold demonstrations in all major industrial hubs, emphasizing that the burden on small-scale manufacturers is unsustainable under the current economic climate.
Political analysts suggest this move is a strategic attempt by the DMK to regain its foothold among the industrial workforce, positioning itself as the primary voice of opposition against the current administration's fiscal policies.
