Ten days after DMK legislator and Kongunadu Makkal Desia Katchi's E.R. Eswaran made a statement in the Assembly over using 'Jai Hind', AIADMK coordinator O. Panneerselvam on Sunday expressed regret over the incident and urged Chief Minister M.K. Stalin to take steps to expunge the remarks from the House records. In a five-page statement, Mr. Panneerselvam urged the CM to focus more on the promises made in the DMK election manifesto over reducing fuel prices, dropping gold and educational loans, besides securing an exemption for Tamil Nadu from the ambit of the National Eligibility-Cum-Entrance Test (NEET) for medical admissions and other people-related issues. The former CM also took a dig at the DMK government by referring to Mr. Stalin's statement on July 19, 2019 in the Assembly that when the latter's party came to power it would not only do what was promised but also those that were not promised. "Probably, the usage of 'Union government' and the absence of 'Jai Hind' was among those that were not promised," Mr. Panneerselvam took a swipe.More Related News
