EPS accused TVK of failing to tackle rising commodity prices, frequent power outages and a deteriorating law‑and‑order situation in Tamil Nadu.
During a recent public address, EPS targeted TVK, alleging that the latter has not taken effective steps to curb the surge in prices of essential commodities across Tamil Nadu. The criticism also highlighted persistent power cuts that have disrupted daily life and business operations in the state.
EPS further warned that the law‑and‑order situation is worsening, with rising incidents of crime and public unrest, and blamed TVK for not addressing these challenges promptly. The remarks came amid growing public frustration over economic pressures and service disruptions.
No immediate response from TVK was recorded at the time of reporting, but political analysts note that the exchange could intensify intra‑party tensions ahead of upcoming elections. The issues raised reflect broader concerns among Tamil Nadu residents about affordability, reliable electricity supply and safety.
State officials have acknowledged the problems, citing supply chain constraints and infrastructure bottlenecks, while promising corrective measures. The political debate underscores the urgency of addressing these systemic issues.
