AMMK leader Dhinakaran criticises ‘undeclared load shedding’ in Tamil Nadu
AMMK leader T.T.V. Dhinakaran has criticized the Tamil Nadu government for failing to address power shortages and alleged police misconduct. He also urged the state to cancel a directive requiring school headmasters to fund a government breakfast scheme launch.
Why it matters
This highlights ongoing political friction and governance challenges in Tamil Nadu, reflecting public dissatisfaction with infrastructure and administrative policies.
Amma Makkal Munnetra Kazhagam (AMMK) general secretary T.T.V. Dhinakaran on Saturday (September 12, 2026) said there had been an “undeclared load shedding” in Tamil Nadu, compelling people to resort to agitations.
In a post on social media, Mr. Dhinakaran said the Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK)-led government, which had been in office for over 120 days, had not addressed the issue of electricity shortage, a basic need of the people. Instead of taking steps for the provision of uninterrupted supply, the Minister concerned had been “digging the time-barred allegations “ and reopening “ closed chapters ” and this was condemnable.
Mr. Dhinakaran called upon the State government and the Energy department to ensure that the interruptions in power supply be brought to an end and the people be provided with uninterrupted supply.
