As Tamil Nadu is reeling under the worst water crisis, the ruling AIADMK decided to appease the rain god by performing special yagnas in temples across the state. Senior AIADMK leader and Fisheries Minister D Jayakumar took part in a 'yagna' at a Shiva temple here and planted saplings in the premises of the shrine.
He told reporters that performing yagnas was "an expression of faith", hoping that the Almighty will answer their prayers for rain.
The AIADMK members including senior Tamil Nadu ministers - Sengottaiyan, Sellur K Raju and Madurai North MLA V V Rajan Chellappa - performed pujas at several temples in the state.
Municipal Administration Minister S P Velumani took part in a 'yagna' at Patteeswaram temple in Coimbatore district.
