T.T.V. Dhinakaran, the general secretary of Amma Makkal Munnetra Kazhagam (AMMK), stated on Saturday that Tamil Nadu currently ranks first in India for price increases. He urged the TVK-led government to implement necessary measures to stabilize the costs of essential commodities.
Mr. Dhinakaran highlighted that retail inflation in the state has reached 7.29 per cent, attributing this surge to a lack of monitoring and a failure to take timely corrective action. He accused the TVK government of acting as a bystander and attempting to mask the actual situation while claiming that the prices of pulses, sugar, and rice have been controlled and hoarding prevented.
Further alleging that inefficient administration over the last six months has damaged the state's pioneering status, the AMMK leader demanded that the government stop using social media propaganda. He called for the administration to move past "Paid Virtual Warriors" and instead focus on constructive steps to control inflation.
