MDMK general secretary Vaiko on Monday slammed the UPA Government for failing to safeguard the rights of Tamil Nadu while accusing Chief Minister M Karunanidhi of ‘sacrificing’ the interests of Tamils to help the Congress in Karnataka polls.
Addressing the party cadre, who staged a demonstration here on the Hogenakkal project, Vaiko said the Congress-led Central Government had been indifferent to Tamil Nadu on important issues, such as Mullaiperiyar dispute and the controversy over construction of a dam across Palar river.
And the Chief Minister had committed an ‘unpardonable blunder’ by putting the Hogenakkal project on hold to favour the Congress, he said.
Karunanidhi, he pointed out, had taken a unilateral decision to defer the project. Former Chief Minister SM Krishna had earlier said that Karunanidhi’s views were responsible for violence in Karnataka.
But two day’s ago, Krishna hailed him. “This shows that Karnataka has two Chief Ministers — one at Bangalore and another at Gopalapuram,” he said
