DMK has betrayed the people of the State, alleges Edappadi K. Palaniswami
The Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) is the party that has betrayed the people of the State, alleged AIADMK general secretary and Opposition leader Edappadi K. Palaniswami.
Mr. Palaniswami told the media in Coimbatore on Sunday that the DMK had passed a resolution at its general council meeting held in Madurai on Sunday calling the AIADMK a party that had betrayed the State.
When former Chief Minister Jayalalithaa was in power and later when he took over as the Chief Minister, the AIADMK government came out with the best schemes for the people and ensured law and order in the State. Now, there is murder, theft and sexual assault cases every day. 'This Stalin model rule has betrayed the people.' It is anti-people rule for the last four years, he said.
Regarding the education policy, Mr. Palaniswami said the DMK was in power at the Centre for 16 years as part of various governments. It did not take any measures then to focus on the education policy or to bring education under the State subject list. It does not care about the public when in power at the Centre. But, blames others when it is not in power, he alleged.
The AIADMK has a cordial relationship with the DMDK, he added.

DMK doubts EPS delimitation claim, says he's acting as BJP mouthpiece
This came as a response to EPS's remarks on X earlier in the day, where he said Chief Minister MK Stalin was speaking of 'fair delimitation' while 'presiding over the most unfair, corrupt, and dynastic regime Tamil Nadu has ever seen'. Palaniswami said the AIADMK would neither allow Tamil Nadu's representation in Parliament to be reduced nor its (state) voice to be silenced. 'In 2027, or whenever delimitation may come, the AIADMK will fiercely defend Tamil Nadu's rightful voice and future,' Palaniswami reiterated in his post on X. On June 2, the CM charged that by delaying the Census to 2027, the BJP-led union government's plans to reduce Tamil Nadu's parliamentary representation have become clear. 'The people of Tamil Nadu are tired of your drama and crocodile tears,' Palaniswami said on X. Regupathy, in his response, stated it was the CM who first exposed 'the BJP's plot' to reduce the number of MP seats of Tamil Nadu. 'After the CM exposed the BJP's plans, EPS has now come to its rescue. It is a blatant lie to claim that he is opposing Hindi imposition and delimitation while aligning with the very party that pushes for them in Tamil Nadu,' the minister charged.
