AIADMK co-coordinator and Leader of Opposition Edappadi K. Palaniswami on Thursday criticised Chief Minister M.K. Stalin for seeking to hide the failure of his nine-month-old government on a host of issues by writing a letter to 37 leaders for nominating their representatives to the proposed body, the All India Federation of Social Justice.
In a statement, Mr. Palaniswami said it looked as if Mr. Stalin had, under the guise of the Federation, written the letter out of the thought of becoming Prime Minister, just as leaders of other regional parties in the country had entertained such a notion.
