In a separate statement, Nagendran strongly criticised the state government over what he called a surge in violent crimes across Tamil Nadu. Citing official data, he claimed that crime in the state has increased by 52% compared to the previous year.
Referring to the infamous Pollachi sexual assault case, Nagendran acknowledged that justice had been delivered in that instance but said it was an exception in an otherwise worsening law and order situation.
"The primary cause is alcohol addiction, which the state government has failed to address. The increase in crime is a direct result of the state's negligence. The BJP believes that criminals must be punished, regardless of political affiliation,” he said, as per ANI.
