PMK conference slams AIADMK, DMK

The Kongu Zone (Western Region) conference of PMK today vowed to instal the party in power in the 2016 Assembly polls and relieve the state from the "slavery of DMK and AIADMK."
In a resolution adopted at the conference, the party blamed the last four years' AIADMK rule for what it claimed decline in the industrial growth to minus 1.3 per cent and agriculture growth to minus 12.1 per cent, and taking the state economy to last place in the country,
The only achievement during the rule was the "escape from the conviction and sentence from the disproportionate assets case, that too due to some inaccurate statistics in the Court," it charged.

Alleging that the government had not made any efforts to increase industrial growth, the resolution said Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramiah came to Coimbatore and managed to attract an investment of Rs.12,000 crore to his state.
Similarly,chief ministers of Telangana and Andhra Pradesh were wooing the industrialists from the state by offering various concessions in their respective states, even ready to establish a Leather Park, it said.
Even as the government failed to take the state to developmental path, it was successful in opening a large number of liquor outlets, giving bad name to Tamil Nadu, the resolution charged.
The situation was not not different during DMK regime and both the parties were successful in 'cheating' the state and its people with lot of promises, it alleged.

Both parties have failed to implement various projects like Athikadavu Avanashi Water project, preventing construction of dams across Pambaru and Mekedatu and solve the vexatious Mullaperiyar dam issue, the resolution said and slammed the about five-decades-old rule of both the Dravidian parties for the state's "sorry" situation.
