Terming DMK president M K Stalin as 'arikkai nayagan' (hero of statements), chief minister Edappadi K Palaniswami urged the opposition leader to stop levelling false allegations at AIADMK leaders and ministers. “Instead, Stalin should offer constructive criticisms and try to find a place at least as an opposition party,” EPS said at Vanavasi in Salem district on Thursday.

Addressing a gathering after inaugurating several projects worth Rs 123 crore and laying the foundation stone for Rs 118 crore worth projects, EPS said Stalin was levelling false allegations everyday against the ruling party. TN was ahead in agriculture, education, health and industrial growth, EPS said, noting that Stalin was unable to digest this growth. Tamil Nadu had the highest number of students pursuing higher education in the country; paddy procurement from delta region this year has touched a record 32 lakh tonnes as against 23 lakh tonnes in the past; and the state had the highest GDP of 8%. “No other state has such high GDP. Even during the lockdown, industries have come to TN.TN is the only state to open more industries after March this year,” EPS said.

Due to concerted efforts of the state government Covid has also been controlled, said the CM.
