 "AINRC government misled people: Narayanasamy")
Union Minister and Congress candidate for the April 24 Lok Sabha polls in Puducherry V Narayanasamy today said though the Centre had allocatted enough funds for the developmental activities of the union territory, the ruling AINRC was spreading "misleading propaganda" that it was denied money.
"The Centre had taken care of welfare of the people of Puducherry and evolved and implemented various developmental programmes. However, the three-year-old AINRC government headed by N Rangasamy and his partymen had been spreading misleading propaganda that the Centre had been declining funds for Puducherry, he said.
The Centre had provided enough funds for drinking water projects, laying of roads, buildings for schools, hospitals and anganwadi centres, opening of a branch of National Information Technology and Technology Training Academy, he said addressing party cadres on the occasion of the 87th birth anniversary of former Chief Minister P Shanmugham.
He criticised the territorial administration for its "failure to maintain law and order, protect the properties of citizens and attrocities by miscreants." The situation was so perilous that the Lt Governor had to intervene with police officials to take steps to protect law and order, he said.
