Karunanidhi On Chennai Floods

From Saidapet in Chennai, an area that was ravaged by the floods four months ago, 93-year-old M Karunanidhi on Saturday launched his campaign for the Tamil Nadu elections.

With assembly polls in Tamil Nadu just five months away, the DMK has decided to raise the recent floods in Chennai as an election issue. The party's 92-year-old chief M Karunanidhi took to the streets today targeting Chief Minister J Jayalalithaa over the floods.

DMK activists held a protest demonstration in Chennai on Tuesday and demanded a judicial inquiry into the release of surplus water from Chembarambakkam lake in Chennai and subsequent flooding in the city.

DMK President M Karunanidhi today slammed arch rival AIADMK over its handling of the recent rains and subsequent deluge and warned that his party would soon "respond" to the ruling party "legally and through parliamentary democracy."

DMK chief Karunanidhi on Friday called on Tamil Nadu Governor K Rosaiah and submitted a memorandum, seeking a judicial inquiry by a sitting High Court judge over 'delayed' release of excess water from Chembarambakkam dam.

Hitting out at ruling AIADMK for "delayed" relief measures to flood-affected people, DMK chief Karunanidhi today said his party has started distributing relief without depending on the state.

DMK lawmaker Kanimozhi Karunanidhi on Wednesday asked the central government to declare Chennai floods as a national disaster.

DMK chief M Karunanidhi on Wednesday urged the Central and the state governments to take steps to rescue Tamils stranded in flood-ravaged Uttarakhand and ensure their safe return.
