In comparison to previous government that could not control Covid-19 in a year, CM MK Stalin has controlled cases in 40 days: Sport Minister Meyyanathan
Coimbatore: Tamil Nadu Environment and Sports Development Minister Meyyanathan inaugurated a children's play park built at a cost of Rs 10 lakh at Senthil Janata Nagar next to Ondipudur in Coimbatore and distributed sweets to children.
Speaking to the reporters he said, "The Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu is taking various steps to uplift Tamil Nadu. Praise and congratulations are pouring in for the performance of the Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu. During coronavirus infection due to the previous government , the public lost their livelihoods due to the relentless curfew. They fought for more than a year to control the coronavirus.
Meanwhile, when DMK leader MK Stalin took charge the coronavirus impact was 26,000. His tireless work cases are now controlled and in the previous regime they were fighting for a year and when the DMK came to power, the Chief Minister brought the coronavirus under control and brought Tamil Nadu back to normalcy in 40 days, despite various problems including the need for oxygen. The lockdown did not affect the public as Rs. 2000 was given in the first phase and Rs. 2,000 was given in the second phase for Kalaiganr Karunanidhi's birthday and relief items were also given to the public. During the last regimes, the future of the state was made questionable for 10 years. A hope is born through the present Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu who will give a bright future. He accused the previous regime of pulling the state backwards to 20 years."
He said the Vellalore Garbage Depot has garbage stored for 50 years. The previous government failed to use these technologically. He said steps would be taken to use the 650 acres of waste for modern technology to use for agricultural fertilizers and convert it into dense forest. Also, he mentioned the Nehru stadium built during the time of Kalaignar Karunanidhi and said the stadium is currently in disrepair. He said Nehru Stadium will be refurbished and said four and a half crore has been wasted on the hockey ground at RS Puram by the previous regime and added that the hockey ground will be developed into a world-class hockey ground at a cost of just Rs 19.80 lakh.
