Puducherry: DMK today condemned the lathicharge on a group of people who had thronged a centre where free mixers and grinders were distributed under a government scheme.
Hitting out at the government, convener of the Puducherry South Unit of the DMK and former legislator R Siva alleged that Chief Minister N Rangasamy was favouring his Kadirkamam constituency from where he was elected and ‘ignoring’ other segments.
Even the launching of new schemes had commenced from Kadirkamam itself, he charged.
In a release, Siva said people, who feared that they would be left out of the scheme, had thronged the venue which led to a melee and police lathicharge near here yesterday.
Around 20 persons, including women, were injured in the police action.
