Sasikala camp MLA threatens to quit over quarry issue
March 19, 2017
A ruling party legislator has threatened to leave the party if the State Government failed to close down a quarry in Sulur in his constituency.
Alleging that the quarry had become a threat to residents, Sasikala faction supporter Kanagaraj visited the quarry site in Kuyili last night, where two persons died after a fall deep into the quarry. Residenta have been demanding closure of the nearly 300-foot deep quarry.
Kanagaraj, in a threat to his party leadership, stated that he may have to `join those who were serving the people’.
He was in the news recently as his and his wife’s names were missing in the electoral list and were among those dead.
