Minister responds to former Chief Minister Edappadi K. Palaniswami’s charge
Industries Minister Thangam Thennarasu said on Wednesday that it was the AIADMK government that had appropriated the schemes of the DMK government.
Reacting to former Chief Minister Edappadi K. Palaniswami’s contention that the DMK government had appropriated the AIADMK’s schemes, he said the AIADMK government started the culture of appropriation by affixing stickers on former Chief Minister M. Karunanidhi’s name and Thiruvalluvar’s image in school textbooks prepared under the common syllabus.
“When volunteers and NGOs distributed relief items to areas affected by Cyclone Gaja, the AIADMK government affixed its sticker on the bags. Mr. Palaniswami has conveniently forgotten what his government had done,” Mr. Thennarasu told reporters.
