The DMK and BJP have publicly criticized Chief Minister Vijay over a recent jailbreak in Tamil Nadu, labeling the government as ineffective.
A jailbreak at a Tamil Nadu prison in recent days has drawn sharp criticism from the state's main opposition parties. The DMK, led by its senior leaders, described the ruling government as "good for nothing" after the incident. BJP lawmakers echoed the sentiment, demanding accountability and stricter security measures.
Both parties highlighted lapses in prison management and called for an immediate inquiry into how the escape was possible. They urged the state machinery to take swift action to restore public confidence in law‑enforcement institutions.
Chief Minister Vijay has yet to issue a formal response to the accusations, leaving the political debate unresolved. The incident has intensified calls for reforms in the state's prison system and has become a focal point for opposition parties seeking to challenge the ruling party's governance record.
