Nagercoil: The Congress has demanded the resignation of Tamil Nadu Chief Minister
Jayalalithaa for failing to arrest forest brigand Veerappan even as over one year
had passed after the All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (AIADMK) came to power.
Talking to reporters on August 30, Tamil Nadu Congress Committee (TNCC) president E
V K S Elangovan said Jayalalithaa, while in the Opposition, had sought the
resignation of the then Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Karunanidhi and Karnataka Chief
Minister S M Krishna for failing to nab Veerappan.
Alleging that the law and order situation in the state had deteriorated after the
AIADMK came to power in the state, he alleged that state government was misusing
police force. He also blamed the government for not able to solve issues including
Cauvery issue, teachers' strike, weavers problems and court fee hike issues.
