Speaking to reporters after inspecting the water-logged areas of Chennai, he said: “Those who were in power for the last 10 years have destroyed everything and I don’t want to speak on that now. We have been engaging ourselves in setting right the stagnation of water and we have the confidence that it can be achieved ahead of the next rainy season. The work is taking place in this regard.”

The chief minister said that on Thursday, alone various parts of the city received more than 20 cm of rain, and the authorities were “working hard” to look into the issue of water stagnation.
