"My Experience Is More Than Your Age": E Palaniswami To Udhayanidhi Stalin

K Palaniswami said he was first elected to the Assembly in 1989 like Stalin. He recalled that he had been an MP and also helmed statutory bodies and later became a minister and eventually the chief minister.

"My experience is more than your age," AIADMK general secretary Edappadi K Palaniswami on Tuesday told Deputy Chief Minister Udhayanidhi Stalin and said his recent elevation in the Cabinet is Chief Minister M K Stalin's 'only achievement.'

Addressing a party event here, K Palaniswami, referring to Udhayanidhi Stalin questioning him on his rise, in party and in the previous AIADMK government (2016-21), alleged that only a person born in late DMK patriarch M Karunanidhi's family could get top posts and no one else.

Seeking to know the achievement of the DMK regime during its 41-month rule after it assumed power in May 2021, he said the answer is, 'nothing.' Elevating Udhayanidhi Stalin as deputy chief minister is CM Stalin's only achievement, the AIADMK chief claimed.
