AIADMK leader Edappadi K. Palaniswami criticizes Chief Minister M.K. Stalin over NEET and unfulfilled promises, claiming successful governance during his term.
AIADMK general secretary and Leader of Opposition Edappadi K. Palaniswami on Monday took a swipe at Chief Minister M.K. Stalin over the NEET issue and alleged failure on the part of the government to fulfil its electoral promises.
Participating in the inauguration of the Kongu Multipurpose Training Centre in Harur, he charged that Mr. Stalin was struggling to fulfil his electoral promises.
Despite his (Mr Stalin) tall claims of “circumventing NEET”, the government had failed to get exemption for Tamil Nadu from the entrance test, he pointed out. The former Chief Minister questioned the state of all the petitions that were asked to be dropped in the grievances boxes in the districts.
“Mr. Stalin may have perhaps lost the key to the box,” Mr. Palaniswami quipped. He also claimed that Mr. Stalin was hoodwinking people with “attractive empty speeches”.
Speaking of his stint as the Chief Minister during 2017-21, Mr. Palaniswami said, there were innumerable naysayers who hoped he would not last his term. However, “ I successfully delivered good governance” for four years, he contended.
