GST Affected 60 Percent of Power Looms badly and BJP didn't listen: DMK Candidate Ganapathi Rajkumar

DMK's Coimbatore parliamentary candidate, Ganapathi Rajkumar, campaigned across multiple areas, addressing the closure of 60% of power looms due to GST implications, and promised to voice the local demands in Delhi.


Coimbatore: Today, Ganapathi Rajkumar, the victorious candidate from the Indian Alliance's DMK for the Coimbatore parliamentary constituency, took his campaign through areas including Karumathampatti, Kaniyur, Thennampalayam, Muthugoundenpudur, Rasipalayam, Arugampalayam, Madampur, Thottipalayam, Kumarapalayam, Sengaththurai, Kaadamapatty, and Kangayampalayam.
