"It is clear from the daily crime incidents that law and order are not under control in the DMK regime. The police, which is supposed to protect the life and property of the people, has been turned into a propaganda department of the ruling party," he said.
Annamalai said: "The Chief Minister who controls the police department is unable to maintain law and order but he is deceiving the public by pretending to be the number 1 chief minister. I warn that the culprits should be found immediately and strict action should be taken and if such crimes continue, BJP Tamil Nadu will be protests across the state."
