The agitation, which was held State-wide, was to condemn the DMK for not fulfilling its promises.
By giving false assurances in the pre-poll campaign, the DMK had managed to come to power. However, it had neglected to keep up the word. Instead, they chose to target some ex-ministers and let loose the police to conduct raids.
The AIADMK would not be cowed down by such threats and rather face them boldly with the support of the people, the speakers said.

The government should also ensure that the people should not face power cuts, which had become the order of the day.
Similar demonstrations were held in Theni district, where the former Deputy Chief Minister O Panneerselvam led the agitation in front of his MLA office in Bodinayakkanur.
In Sivaganga district also, the AIADMK functionaries demanded the government to look back on the poll promises made by the DMK and start implementing them in public interest.
