The All India N.R. Congress and the All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam on Thursday staged a walkout to highlight the failure of the government in implementing welfare schemes and announcements made during election campaign.
As soon as Speaker V. Vaithilingam completed obituary references, the AINRC and the AIADMK members were on their feet complaining about non-implementation of schemes.
The AIADMK members even tried to troop into the well of the House but marshals prevented them from doing so. Opposition leader N. Rangasamy said the government should come out with a list of schemes that they were not able to implement.
Not a single scheme had been implemented since the government came to power.
The government was trying to deflect its failure by putting the blame on Lt. Governor. The party would soon launch an agitation against the government, he said.
AIADMK leader A. Anbalagan said the government had failed to provide free rice, free cloth and free sugar to the marginalised sections of society. The turf-war between the government and Lt Governor had caused complete administrative paralysis.
