MRK Panneerselvam's assembly remarks

DMK member MRK Panneerselvam has faced backlash following his claim in the Legislative Assembly that farmers have not staged any protests during the current DMK administration.

Minister Ramesh challenged the claim, asking if Panneerselvam had forgotten the various protests held by farmers across several districts. These demonstrations were specifically related to the establishment of paddy storage warehouses and the imposition of prices exceeding the government-fixed rates for sugarcane by officials.
