DMK leader M.K. Stalin criticised Chief Minister Vijay, saying recent power outages in Tamil Nadu have disrupted the work of state ministers.
M.K. Stalin, the head of the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK), publicly rebuked Chief Minister Vijay over a series of power cuts that have swept across Tamil Nadu. The leader highlighted that the outages are not limited to households but have also hampered the functioning of several state ministers who rely on uninterrupted electricity for official duties.
According to reports, the rolling blackouts have affected key government offices and ministerial residences, forcing officials to postpone meetings and delay administrative work. Stalin argued that such disruptions undermine the state's governance and reflect poorly on the chief minister's handling of essential services.
Stalin's remarks come at a time when the ruling coalition is under pressure to restore stable power supply ahead of upcoming legislative sessions. While he did not name specific ministers, the criticism underscores growing political tension between the DMK leadership and the chief minister's office over infrastructure management.
