Coimbatore: The DMK government is taking revenge on former AIADMK ministers, former municipal administration minister S P Velumani said here on Sunday.
“I believe the government will target me soon,” the AIADMK leader told party functionaries at a meeting held at Idhaya Theivam Maligai on Huzur Road here. “We are ready to face any probe and are not afraid of anything. No one can control AIADMK,” he said.
“DMK came to power by giving false promises. DMK struggled a lot, but AIADMK functionaries worked hard and snatched victory. Coimbatore district will always remain AIADMK’s fort. Chief minister M K Stalin had promised to treat everyone equally regardless of their political affiliation. But the DMK government stopped 96 works in the Coimbatore municipal corporation. If the government fails to implement schemes in Coimbatore, we will challenge it,” Velumani said.

Based on inside information that the AIADMK had allotted the the Coimbatore South Assembly constituency to the BJP and that the party’s national women’s wing president Vanathi Srinivasan had planned to contest there, AIADMK supporters gathered in front of the party office on Huzur Road on Wednesday opposing the move.
Led by zonal secretaries from Ukkadam, Ramanathapuram, Gandhipuram, Sungam and a couple of other areas, the cadre said they were opposed to the move to handover the constituency to the BJP.

Sixty-three-year-old N C Alamedu, who got her first dose of vaccine against Covid-19 on the very first day it was opened for senior citizens, is hopeful of returning to her pre-Covid social life after the second dose in another two weeks. She decided to get the jab, as she plans to host and attend a few functions in April and May.
Alamedu, from Kovaipudur, was one of the 157 people who came to the Coimbatore Medical College and Hospital (CMCH) to get inoculated. While 124 of them were above 60 years, 33 of them were aged between 45 and 60 years. The oldest beneficiary was aged 89 years. It was also a day when most people preferred Covishield to Covaxin.
