Chennai, July 30: Tamil Nadu unit of the CPI today demanded an urgent session of the Tamil Nadu assembly to discuss the 'unprecedented' situation prevailing in the state due to various factors, including the government administration coming to a 'standstill.' CPI legislature party leader G Palanisamy, in a letter to the Chief Minister Jayalalithaa, said most of the government employees, who were dismissed, were yet to be reinstated, leading to a standstill in the administration. The state was reeling under severe drought and drinking water shortage, he alleged adding that due to the government employees strike, many benefits, which should have reached the poor, were yet to reach them.
Under these circumstances, Tamil Nadu assembly should be convened to discuss these issues, he said.
