BJP favoured Sterlite Copper unit, CM Stalin shut it down: Kanimozhi
New Indian ExpressTHOOTHUKUDI/MADURAI/THENI: The BJP favoured the re-opening of the Sterlite Copper unit, said DMK General Secretary and incumbent MP Kanimozhi Karunanidhi during an election campaign near Kurukusalai, late on Thursday. She alleged that the AIADMK government gunned down 13 protesters, who came to petition the collector, during the anti-Sterlite protest in 2018, adding that the BJP government favoured the Sterlite Copper unit and argued against shutting it down. Even as many decried the plant’s closure, claiming that it led to unemployment, the DMK government brought India’s first e-car manufacturing plant to Thoothukudi to generate more jobs. ‘AIIMS Madurai still a pending dream’ Speaking in Madurai, Kanimozhi said this election is India’s ‘second independence struggle’, one that aims to save democracy.
