Rail roko
Mr. Mutharasan told presspersons that the farmers’ association led by Deivasigamani had convened an all-party meeting on October 6, in which all the political parties, barring the ruling AIADMK, and various farmers associations participated.
The decision to hold rail roko agitation for two days across the State on October 17 and 18 was made at that meeting. The protest was a big success with all the political parties in the State extending support and taking active participation in it.
