AIADMK’s views on prominent issues have always been independent: EPS

The Hindu  

Leader of Opposition and AIADMK general secretary Edappadi K. Palaniswami on Sunday said the Centre should release pending dues under the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act to the State government, as many women workers have not received their salaries under the scheme. Addressing a zonal conference for young party cadres from 10 districts in Vellore, Mr. Palaniswami said, “Do not bother who is in power in Tamil Nadu but think about the families that depend on the wages earned from working under the MGNREGA.” Denying Chief Minister M.K. Stalin’s charge that the AIADMK was toeing the line of the BJP on key issues, Mr. Palaniswami said the AIADMK had always been independent in its views on key issues as the party does not depend on its alliance partners to win elections unlike the ruling DMK. Mr. Palaniswami also blamed the ruling DMK government for the steady rise in debt burden on the State’s exchequer.
