CHENNAI: Blaming the DMK government for the death of 15 cows at the famous Rameswaram temple, AIADMK supremo Jayalalithaa on Monday said Chief Minister M Karunanidhi should resign owning 'moral responsibility' for the incident.
"Devotees donate cows and it is the responsibility of the temple authorities to maintain them. But the state Hindu Religious and Charitable Endowments Minister K R Periyakarruppan had disowned responsibility of maintaining them," Jayalalithaa said in a statement here.
The minister contends that devotees just donate the cows and do not help in efforts to maintain them.
"His (the minister's) attitude is highly condemnable," she said.
"Karunanidhi should resign owning moral responsibility for the death of the cows at the temple," she said.
Most of the departments had become inactive and corruption was to the core in police department, she alleged.
Smuggling of rice meant for public distribution system had become the order of the day and the state was experiencing unprecedented power shortage, she said, adding that "it was better" Karunanidhi resigned as he was unable to settle "any issue" confronting the state.
Fifteen cows had recently died at the famous Ramanathaswamy temple allegedly due to malnutrition.

My view
When Karunanidhi taken anti Rama stand at that movement it was clear that Jayalalithaa will use this opportunity to cash that error committed by his political enemy.
This witty situation suits right head national party BJP to get some ground on Hindu agenda on Non Hindi Belt first time in India ,where this agenda is considered that copy right issue of Hindi specking Indian.
So after aggression Karuna has taken his steps backward once Jaya came open on this most sensitive issue of cultural identity.
Dent has been done only repair on the issue can be done.
I got shamed to read all matter over issue , how selfish our political personalities have became to capture power even at cost of our cultural heritage.
