Chennai (Tamil Nadu) [India], March 30 : All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (AIADMK) spokesperson Kovai Sathyan attacked DMK for critising Eddapadi K Palaniswami over meeting Union Home Minister Amit Shah earlier this week.
Kovai Sathyan stated that it showcased on how 'rattled' DMK is and said that it was not an alliance meet. Sathyan spoke about the agenda of the meeting and said that Palaniswami raised several state issues in front of Amit Shah which includes the proposed delimitation, NEET, and the scams that are happening under the incumbent DMK government.
"It clearly indicates how rattled DMK are. It was not a meet for alliance. It was a meet which clearly exposes MK Stalin's incompetence and their government failures to protect the state rights of Tamil Nadu as well as the thousands and thousands of crores of corruption that is there. So our leader has visited Amit Shah and sought central government's intervention in retrieving state rights such as delimitation, language, NEET, and as well as the most important is the thousands and thousands of crores that has happened in different departments under this incompetent MK Stalin's rule. So having caught off guard, Stalin again wants to paint a picture. It is towards alliance, if it is for any other reason, why is DMK so rattled? They can mind their own business", Kovai Sathyan said to ANI on Sunday.
Earlier, former Tamil Nadu Chief Minister and AlADMK General Secretary Edappadi K Palaniswami said that a decision on alliance will be made when elections comes near.
This comes after Edappadi K Palaniswami, who is also the Leader of the Opposition in the Tamil Nadu Assembly met with Union Home Minister Amit Shah in the national capital on Tuesday evening.
Edappadi K Palaniswami said, "On alliance, I have already spoken several times. Is any party firm on alliance? Are parties in DMK alliance firm? We can't tell. This is politics, as per the political situation, changes will happen. How can we tell now itself? When did we form an alliance at the time of 2019 elections? It was February when we made the announcement. Similarly, we will have talks with like-minded parties and make a decision on alliance when elections come near. If you ask now, how can I tell you about it? We will let you know you know our alliance status."
