AIADMK’s rebel senior legislators meet Water Resources Minister
S.P. Velumani, C.Ve. Shanmugam and K.P. Anbalagan were among those who met the Minister
Senior AIADMK legislators met with Water Resources and Rural Development Minister N. Anand at the Secretariat on Thursday. The meeting featured senior leaders such as S.P. Velumani, C.Ve. Shanmugam, and K.P. Anbalagan. Velumani sought to have areas in his Thondamuthur constituency included in the Athikaduv-Avinashi water supply project.
Refusing to discuss joining the Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK), he emphasized that his current position was due to the AIADMK's support. Velumani praised the TVK-led regime for reviving schemes during the AIADMK's tenure that were later scrapped by the previous DMK government. He advised the government to be given time to prove its worth.
Shanmugam also expressed concerns about his constituency, stating that he had issues to address with the Minister. When asked why he missed the party's consultation, he questioned the necessity of attending.
