Rejecting BJP vice-president V.P. Duraisamy’s claim that the four MLAs of his party were more vocal in taking up people’s issues in the Assembly than the AIADMK which has over 60 MLAs, AIADMK co-coordinator Edappadi K. Palaniswami said on Friday that people were aware of his party’s functioning in the House and there was no need for any certificate from the BJP leader.
Asked about Mr. Duraisamy’s remarks, he told reporters, “The media and the people are aware of the functioning of the AIADMK in the Assembly. Mr. Duraisamy need not certify the functioning of the party. People are aware of how efficiently the AIADMK legislators, including Annan [O. Panneerselvam] and I, are taking up people’s issues in the Assembly. People are also aware of how the BJP floor leader is speaking.”
