Tamil Nadu Minister K.G. Arunraj said the TVK’s bypoll victories were a verdict on four months of good governance. He made the remarks while speaking on the political significance of the results.

Responding to the protest by mid-level health workers, Arunraj said they should have submitted their demands to him or to the Health Department Secretary before resorting to agitation.

No further details were immediately provided on the workers’ demands or the government’s next steps.
