Palaniswami challenges Stalin to list the shortcomings of AIADMK’s rule
The HinduAIADMK general secretary and former Chief Minister Edappadi K. Palaniswami on Saturday challenged DMK president and Chief Minister M.K. Stalin has been accusing the 10 years of AIADMK’s rule as a dark period, I am directly challenging Mr. Stalin to list whatever he considers as flaws in our government and we will give a fitting reply point by point. How can an alliance which has no unity while facing the Lok Sabha elections select a Prime Ministerial candidate?” Pointing out to Mr. Stalin’s remarks post AIADMK’s exit from the BJP, Mr. Palaniswami said: “Mr. ‘Think before voting’ Later, campaigning in Thanjavur in support of DMDK candidate P. Sivanesan, Mr. Palaniswami called upon delta farmers to think before casting their votes in the Lok Sabha election. On the other hand, the DMK has let down the farmers by various acts such as signing a memorandum of understanding with the Great Eastern Energy Corporation for extracting methane from the delta bed and not extending crop insurance protection for the kuruvai paddy in the past three years and by “remaining silent” on the Karnataka move to construct a dam across the Cauvery at Mekedatu.
