CHENNAI: While campaigning in Ambattur, Avadi and Thirunindravur, DMK president MK Stalin on Sunday questioned Chief Minister Edappadi K Palaniswami as to what benefits reached TN over the State government supporting the Central government?
“Palaniswami has been supporting the Centre only for his welfare, not for the welfare of farmers and students in our State. Even after he did all this, he was not able to obtain relief assistance from the Union Government to carry out relief works in the State following many natural calamities in the last four years,” he said.
Referring to Deputy Chief Minister O Panneerselvam’s son OPS Ravindra Nath, Stalin said, “Even if you elect one MLA, that person will function as a BJP legislator, similar to how the lone AIADMK MP has been functioning.” Listing out achievements of previous DMK governments, the party chief promised to implement welfare measures for everyone again if his party is voted to power.
