CHENNAI: Expressing shock over the kidnap and murder of a 13-year-old boy in Krishnagiri district, as well as the death of a Class XII student who was found dead near his school in Erode district in the past two days, Leader of Opposition Edappadi K Palaniswami said these incidents indicate that no one is safe anywhere, at any time, under the present DMK regime.

The abduction-cum-murder reveals that criminal elements are fearless and indulging in heinous crimes, he said.

Referring to media reports regarding the Class XII student’s death, he said the boy died due to clashes between students. He wondered how such violent behaviour is prevalent among students and criticised that these incidents expose that the DMK government’s fundamentals are “flawed.”

Meanwhile, he criticised the Stalin government for failing to ensure the Cauvery flows into the tail-end regions. He cited proper desilting as the reason.
