Mayiladuthurai (Tamil Nadu) [India], July 18 (ANI):AIADMK General Secretary Edappadi K Palaniswami (EPS) issued a harsh critique of the current administrationDMK and Chief Minister MK Stalinduring a high-voltage campaign in the Delta region as part of the "Let's Protect the People, Let's Save"Tamil Nadu" tour, AIADMKmentioned in a press statement.
Speaking to a big crowd in Melamukoodal, within the Poombuhar constituency,EPSreplied to Stalin's latest comment, referring to his campaign bus as "Sundaram Travels," and said, "Yes, I came by bus - because I am a"farmer. This is the type of vehicle I will always use for travel. However, you, Stalin, can afford to travel in Benz cars, helicopters, or even private jets. You have 8,000 crore rupees in your family trust.
The AIADMKleader, traveling in an open campaign vehicle amidst enthusiastic crowds along the path from Keezhmukoodal to Melamukoodal, blamed theDMK government of betraying farmers and merely rebranding AIADMK-initiated welfare projects.
The office of the District Collector in this area was approved by theAIADMK. The DMKsimply placed a sticker on it and took the credit," he claimed.
EPSfurther alleged that the governing party is trying to take over farmlands via methane and ethane gas initiatives and commended the formerAIADMKsystem for designating the Delta area as a safeguarded farming region.
He lambasted the DMKfailure of the government in acquiring rice efficiently.
Farmers are compelled to pile their rice sacks in open areas. They are getting soaked by the rain while the government turns a blind eye. At collection centers,farmerThey are forced to pay a Rs 60 bribe per sack. Is this the type of government we require?" he asked. "In our administration,"farmerIt has fair pricing. Now, there's only indifference and abuse.
EPS also slammed the DMKHis track record of promises versus actions, noting that fewer than 10 percent of the party's election pledges have been completed. "All Stalin does is present a plan each day and take pictures. If there was a Nobel Prize for deception, it should be awarded to him," he remarked.
Focusing on broken commitments,EPSsaid, "Stalin pledged to formalize part-time educators but did not follow through after assuming power. That's his contradictory approach. They also halted the free laptop initiative for students in government schools. When"AIADMKcomes back to power, we will start distributing laptops again.
Under the 100-day job initiative, he mentioned, "It has now been cut down to only 50 days. The central government has repeatedly requested information, but the state government is not providing it."
EPSexpressed worries about the worsening law and order situation and increasing drug trafficking throughoutTamil NaduFor three years, we have been highlighting this problem. Now Stalin states, 'don't fall into the drug trap.' In doing so, he is acknowledging that the country is overwhelmed by drugs.
A sharp critique of Stalin's son andDMK youth wing leader Udhayanidhi Stalin, EPSsaid: "What has Udhayanidhi contributed to the"DMK? Senior leaders like Duraimurugan worked for many years and were not appointed as Deputy Chief Minister. Is there any democracy in...DMK?"
He further stated, "I did not gain my position because of my father's name. I put in the effort, progressed gradually, and achieved this role. The journey you took is not the same as mine." (ANI)
