Inaugurating the government exhibition here, the Chief Minister said that he is well aware of what is good for the people of the State and what is not. But, Mr. Anbumani Ramadoss should think whether he has grown because of the people or the people had grown because of him.
The wishes of the donors who had given land for political reasons and noble causes did not get fulfilled, he said and added that to protect the donated property, a draft has been passed in the Assembly and has been sent to the President.
He said that when the law is implemented, an administrative committee will be formed to fulfil the donors’ wishes.
To also develop the educational standard of Vannia Kula Kshatriyars. the AIADMK government constructed mani mandapam for Ramasamy Padayachi and is also observing his birth anniversary, he added.
