TNCC calls for strike

Tamil Nadu Congress Committee (TNCC) president Su. Thirunavukkarasar on Thursday called for a one-day strike to put pressure on the Centre to form the Cauvery Management Board.

In a statement, he said the Centre had betrayed the State’s interest and the efforts of the State government had been ineffective on the issue.

The call for strike could be discussed with allies, farmers associations and other like-minded organisations. The strike should be organised in such a way that it teaches a lesson to the BJP-led government, and for that, farmers, businessmen, traders and students must come together, he said.
