Chennai: DMK working president M. K. Stalin has accused the State government of hiding the truth on dengue deaths in Tamil Nadu.
"Since those who were affected by dengue and the number of people who died due to it is high, they (the State government) is not disclosing the details and hiding the truth," Mr. Stalin told reporters here. He took potshots at the AIADMK government, describing it as "dengue regime," and said, "I have already said that the dengue problem will be over only if the dengue regime is out," he said.
Chief Minister Edappadi K. Palaniswami recently slammed Stalin for his remarks saying that the leader of the Opposition in the Assembly was levelling such allegations "wantonly in a planned fashion," to "denigrate this government."
Palaniswami had also said the state government was working at full swing to halt the spread of dengue and eradicate it besides hitting out at the DMK for seeking to politicise the issue.
