Edappadi Palaniswami questions DMK government over free laptop scheme
The Hindu
AIADMK's Edappadi K. Palaniswami criticizes DMK for not fulfilling promise of free laptops for students.
AIADMK general secretary Edappadi K. Palaniswami on Sunday, May 26 said the DMK government has not made any announcement on free laptops for school students which was condemnable.
In a post on X (formerly Twitter), he pointed out there are only few more days left for the commencement of new academic year. The AIADMK regime introduced the free laptop scheme with a view to upgrade quality of education of students in government and government-aided schools and the scheme was stopped after the DMK came to power.
He asked Chief Minister M.K. Stalin whether the DMK government would fulfil the expectations of government students by providing free laptops or give lame reasons this year too.
