"Tamil Nadu's EPS Bows Down To PM Because He's Corrupt": Rahul Gandhi
NDTV
In 2019, the DMK-Congress alliance swept polls in Tamil Nadu, winning 38 of the 39 seats. With the ruling party continuing it's alliance with the BJP, the lead opposition is working hard for a repeat performance.
Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Sunday made a blistering attack on Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Edappadi K Palaniswami, calling him corrupt and alleged that he was being controlled by the RSS. "Bowing down to anyone is not Tamil culture. The Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Bows Down To PM Modi," he said during DMK-Congress's mega show of strength in Salem, an AIADMK bastion and Chief Minister's home turf. "This is AIADMK with a mask. The RSS is behind the mask. The AIADMK is now a hollow shell controlled by the RSS," he said. Mr Palaniswami has defended his alliance with the BJP saying their cordial relationship paved way for central schemes and allocation of more funds for the state, particularly during calamities like cyclones.
