Atrocities against women is on the rise in Tamil Nadu owing to poor implementation of Domestic Violence Act.
Moreover, Dalits, poor and the downtrodden have been struggling for survival owing to wrong economic policies of the Congress and the DMK governments, said Sudha Sundararaman, CPI(M) party Central Committee Member.
She was campaigning for CPI(M) candidate K. Balabarathi here on Tuesday.
“Change in government will change the present scenario and provide adequate protection to women. Wrong economic policies have led to the increase in the prices of essential commodities. Both the Central and State governments did not take efforts to check price rise. Many government schemes did not reach the poor, Dalits and tribal people in the State. With no benefits from governments, they have been struggling to run their day-to-day life. But ministers have amassed crores of rupees in Swiss banks,” she said.
Neither the DMK nor the Congress took steps for implementing 33 per cent reservation for women. But Ms. Jayalalithaa helped us. Recommendation of Sachar Committee and Ranganath Misra Committee were not implemented, Ms. Sudha charged.
Even today, Dalits have been fighting for their right for burial ground and drinking water. Untouchability was still haunting them.
She campaigned for Ms. Balabarathi at Muthazhagupatti, Sakthi theatre, Zinna Nagar, Municipal Colony within the town limit.
