CHENNAI: Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) leader K Kanimozhi on Monday attacked the BJP-led government, saying that small-scale sector is facing problems due to its policies and that the next government at Centre “should work for people and not in the name of religion”.
Kanimozhi,MP, said that the coming Lok Sabha polls were vital and accused the central government of ignoring suggestions of people. Lok Sabha elections are likely to take place in April-May this year.
“The upcoming election is important…Today, the BJP government at the Centre is slowly destroying all sectors and taking away our rights. The media has been captured today. GST has been introduced and small-scale industries have been facing problems,” Kanimozhi told reporters here.
“They are not taking care of whatever we are pinpointing and criticising. The next government formed at the Centre should be working for the people and not in the name of religion,” she added.
