Minister releases book of achievements
1 2 Trichy: Minister for natural resources S Regupathy released a book of achievements about projects implemented in Pudukottai district on Saturday. Speaking to reporters there, he said AIADMK general secretary Edappadi K Palaniswami could only issue a 'book of miseries.' He was responding to questions about Palaniswami's claims that the DMK govt did not begin any new schemes. "Our schemes are new, which emanate from our leader's (chief minister M K Stalin) thoughts. As Palaniswami could not lay claim on them, he is alleging that we are shelving schemes he introduced," he said. Regupathy criticised Palaniswami for asking if BJP is a communal party while justifying his alliance. He said Palaniswami is a liar and has been blabbering in fear of losing. To a question about the possibility of an increase in electoral roll with non-residents of Tamil Nadu, Regupathy said giving voting rights to non-residents is unacceptable. "Tamil Nadu voters have a different view from Bihar voters. There are rights where one should vote. Tamil Nadu will not accept importing voters from other states," he said. DMK will take such issues to the notice of the Election Commission, he added. Regupathy participated in 'Ungaludan Stalin' camps in Pudukottai district. Meanwhile, speaking in Trichy while launching Nalam Kakkum Stalin camp, municipal administrations minister K N Nehru said, "None from DMK alliance would leave; instead, it is people from their (AIADMK-BJP) camp who are approaching us, like OPS. Edappadi Palaniswami has joined hands with the BJP to safeguard himself." Get the latest lifestyle updates on Times of India, along with Friendship Day wishes , messages and quotes !
