Chief Minister Stalin, his Cabinet colleagues focused on their own welfare: Palaniswami
Chief Minister M.K. Stalin and his Cabinet colleagues were only focused on their own welfare and have been ignoring the public good, AIADMK general secretary Edappadi K. Palaniswami alleged on Sunday. Terming the DMK government a 'failure model', Mr. Palaniswami claimed that the Chief Minister and his Cabinet colleagues were focused on 'looting the State'. In a statement, Mr. Palaniswami, who is currently on a State-wide tour as part of the Makkalai Kaappom, Thamizhaghathai Meetpom political campaign, alleged that the DMK government was only continuing with its hollow promises. The people of Tamil Nadu have realised the true face of the DMK government, which made hollow promises and was inefficient in its administration, and have become prepared to remove it from power, he contended. Mr. Palaniswami said that during his visit to over 30 Assembly constituencies during the roadshow since July 7, he had met about 12.5 lakh people. Farmers, farm labourers, weavers, fishermen, entrepreneurs, youth, unemployed graduates, traders, doctors, and the working class, were among them, he added. 'All of them shared their regret about the failure model of the DMK government during the past 52 months,' Mr. Palaniswami claimed.

Every baby born with debt of Rs 1.5L in DMK rule: Edappadi K Palaniswami
NAGAPATTINAM: Mentioning that the DMK government has accrued a debt of Rs 4 lakh crore over the past four years and it is public money that is being spent to repay it, AIADMK general secretary Edappadi K Palaniswami on Saturday said, 'Every baby in the state is hence born with a debt of roughly Rs 1.5 lakh.' Addressing a gathering at Vedaranyam as part of his two-day 'Makkalai Kaappom, Thamizhagathai Meetpom' in Nagapattinam, Palaniswami also exuded confidence of the AIADMK-led alliance winning 210 seats in the upcoming state Assembly election. 'Stalin says the DMK and its alliance will win 200 seats. I say his dreams will turn into a mirage. The AIADMK-led alliance will win 210 seats,' he said. Earlier, while speaking in Nagapattinam town, Palaniswami touched upon the Nadanthai Vaazhi Cauvery project. The project which ensures supply of clean drinking water and water for irrigation to several districts, including tail-end areas, was conceived during the AIADMK's rule and got approval from the centre. No significant action, however, has been taken under the incumbent DMK government, the former CM said, adding that the project would be completed once the AIADMK comes to power.
