New Delhi: DMK chief M Karunanidhi on Tuesday slammed Chief Minister J Jayalalithaa for making U-turn on the Kudankulam nuclear plant issue.
"Who is responsible for Koodankulam to be shut for the last six months? She kept giving false hopes to the protesters. Today people have been let down. And protesters have been cheated. Now, she has announced Rs 500 crore package for the development of the area. This act of Jayalalithaa is called as drama," he said.
Work at the nuclear plant at nearby Kudankulam was at a standstill following eight month-long protests by locals spearheaded by People's Movement Against Nuclear Energy.
Security in and around Kudankulam and nearby villages has been stepped up after the Chief Minister announced her cabinet decision to go ahead with the project.
The situation is being monitored by senior police officials and several companies of state police have been pressed into service to ensure smooth functioning at the plant.
