Taking a swipe at BJP State president K. Annamalai, AIADMK general secretary Edappadi K. Palaniswami on Monday wondered if the former would continue in his post after June 4, the day of counting of votes polled for the Lok Sabha elections.
Campaigning for DMDK candidate B. Parthasarathy contesting in Chennai Central constituency, Mr. Palaniswami without mentioning Mr. Annamalai’s name said the AIADMK was not like “your [Mr. Annamalai’s] party, which appoints people from Delhi.”
Referring to the way government officials are transferred, or their appointments cancelled, if their functions were not satisfactory, Mr. Palaniswami said: “You are in a party like that. You have been given an appointment by them. Let’s us see later whether you would be there [as the BJP state president] after June 4.”
