Accusing the DMK government of having failed on all fronts, AIADMK general secretary Edappadi K. Palaniswami on Sunday said that people of the State would teach the ruling party a fitting lesson by ensuring the defeat of all its candidates in the upcoming general election.
Addressing a Lok Sabha election meeting in Chidambaram to campaign for the AIADMK candidate M. Chandrakasan, he claimed that the DMK, which had been in power for the past three years, had done nothing for the development of the State.
Taking strong exception to Chief Minister M.K. Stalin’s statement in Salem that the 10-year rule of the AIADMK was a “dark rule” which did not cater to the needs of the people, Mr. Palaniswami said that it was only the DMK’s three year-rule, which was an anti-people administration. The AIADMK rule on the other hand was a golden era in the State.
