Punish both AIADMK, DMK for 'corruption': Javadekar to voters

May 15, 2016 21:05

A day before Tamil Nadu goes to polls, Union minister Prakash Javadekar today asked voters to "punish" both AIADMK and DMK, alleging that they were indulging in "corruption" and "insulting" people by offering them freebies.

He said both AIADMK and DMK have "failed" the state and it its people over the last 50 years and and it is time to bring in change. "Tomorrow Tamil Nadu voters are going to decide the future for the next five years. My appeal to voters is to vote 100 per cent. My second appeal is that it is time to punish both parties - AIADMK and DMK because of their corruption.

"It is the time to punish for taking voters for a ride, for insulting them by offering freebies. Are voters beggars? It is time to punish them for not creating jobs, for abject neglect of irrigation for over 50 years, and for promoting sand mafia. This is a time to change," Javadekar said.
