more-inThe DMK opposed the renaming of Dr.
Muthulakshmi Reddy Maternity Benefit Scheme in the Assembly on Thursday.

During his speech in the debate on the demand for grants for the Health Department, DMK MLA R.
Masilamani criticised the way in which the scheme was being implemented. Muthulakshmi Reddy is not just a name but a legend in the Dravidian movement.
