The Tamil Nadu Assembly witnessed a heated debate between the DMK and AIADMK over the issue of white flies attacking coconut trees in the state. The discussion brought to light the concerns of farmers who have been grappling with the infestation of white flies, which has resulted in a significant decline in coconut production. The opposition party, DMK, accused the ruling AIADMK government of failing to take adequate steps to address the issue and provide relief to the affected farmers. On the other hand, the AIADMK defended its actions and highlighted the various measures it has implemented to control the spread of white flies. The debate underscored the importance of finding a swift and effective solution to protect the livelihoods of coconut farmers in Tamil Nadu.

Both parties agreed on the need for a comprehensive strategy to combat the white fly menace and ensure the revival of the coconut industry in the state. The discussion in the assembly reflects the urgency of the situation and the need for collective efforts to support the agricultural community in Tamil Nadu.
