‘It was the AIADMK that scrapped schemes just because they were introduced by DMK’
Chief Minister M.K. Stalin hit out at Deputy Leader of the Opposition O. Panneerselvam after the latter accused the DMK government of scrapping the “gold for marriage” scheme out of political vindictiveness.
Speaking during the debate on the Tamil Nadu Budget 2022, Mr. Panneerselvam said that the government’s contention that there were irregularities in the implementation of the scheme was not acceptable, and that if there were, they should have been rectified instead of scrapping the scheme. “This is totally an act of political vindictiveness,” Mr. Panneerselvam said.
