AIADMK co-coordinator and Leader of the Opposition Edappadi K. Palaniswami on Sunday called Chief Minister M.K.Stalin’s Dubai trip a family tour rather than a step to attract investment to Tamil Nadu.
Talking to presspersons here, he said it was common for the Chief Minister, Ministers and the Secretaries of the Departments concerned to make such visits. But, in this case, Mr. Stalin’s entire family had travelled to Dubai. People felt that the Chief Minister had gone to Dubai not to attract investment to the State but for his family to invest there.
The Dubai Expo began in October last year, and the Chief Minister inaugurated a Tamil Nadu pavilion at the Expo, which was to conclude by March 31. The Chief Minister had used it as an excuse for his trip, he alleged.
