AIADMK general secretary Edappadi K. Palaniswami on Thursday said that the DMK and its president, and Chief Minister, M.K. Stalin were “two-faced”. “They say they oppose Prime Minister Narendra Modi, but welcome him to Tamil Nadu. They even used white umbrellas to welcome him,” he said at meeting, held in Madurai as part of his campaign for the Lok Sabha election.
Canvassing votes for the party’s candidate for the Madurai Lok Sabha constituency, P. Sarvanan, he pointed out that former Telangana Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao, who opposed Mr. Modi, did not receive the Prime Minister when he had come to attend programmes in the State.
However, the situation was different in Tamil Nadu, he said, adding that the DMK was earlier in an alliance with the BJP (in 1999) and shared power at the Centre during the Congress government.
