PM failed to control drug menace in the country, says Congress leader Selvaperunthugai

New Indian Express  

When asked about AIADMK functionary D Jayakumar’s remarks on Congress allying with the AIADMK, Selvaperunthugai said that the AIADMK has always been keen on allying with the Congress, but the same did not materialise as the DMK is a long-time ally of the Congress. On state BJP chief K Annamalai’s accusation that Tamil Nadu is the drug capital of the country, Selvaperunthugai said that Mundra and Kandla port in Gujarat, the home state of the prime minister, is the centre of the drug mafia. From Gujarat, the drugs and contraband are smuggled to Tamil Nadu via Krishnapatnam port in Andhra Pradesh,” the state Congress chief said. Stating that the union government’s intelligence agencies such as the RAW, Intelligence Bureau, Central Armed Police Forces and others are under the prime minister’s control, he said Modi had failed to control the drug menace. During his visit to Chennai, the prime minister must explain why he failed to control the drug menace.
