The DMK took responsibility for the special flight fare for Chief Minister M.K. Stalin to travel to Dubai to take part at the trade exhibition, Industries Minister Thangam Thennarasu said on Sunday.
Responding to AIADMK co-coordinator Edappadi K. Palaniswami, who questioned the need for using a special flight, Mr. Thennarasu said a special flight was arranged because of the non-availability of regular flights. “The government fund was not used for the special flight,” he clarified.
Mr. Thennarasu also rejected the allegation that the Chief Minister had converted the visit into a family excursion.
