Edappadi K Palaniswami on Wednesday criticised the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) government over an alleged food poisoning incident in a government school in Coimbatore.
In a statement, the AIADMK general secretary said around 43 students were hospitalised after reportedly consuming substandard midday meals on March 10. He alleged that the state government has been ignoring repeated complaints about the quality of food served in government schools.
Palaniswami urged the government to ensure proper medical treatment for the affected students and called on the public to hold the DMK government accountable in the upcoming elections
