“We are celebrating and honouring those who worked for the people and the country. We opened a statue and memorial for actor Sivaji Ganesan in Chennai, a memorial and statue for former managing director of Daily Thanthi group B Sivanthi Aditanar at the cost of Rs1.30 crore at Tiruchendur, a memorial and statue for S S Ramasami Padaiyatchi in Karur at the cost of Rs2.1 crore and announced that his birthday will be celebrated as a government function.

Development works

In the name of MGR

On behalf of the government, statues of former chief ministers MGR and Jayalalithaa will be garlanded on their birthdays,” Palaniswami declared.
Down memory lane
Addressing the public at the event in Magudanchavadi, the chief minister recalled how the place helped him win his first election. He had first contested in assembly election in 1989 from the Edappadi constituency, under which fell Magudanchavadi union. It was with the support of people here that he won the election and became an MLA, he narrated.
Case against Stalin
Pointing out that the opposition leader was now visiting villages and conducting grama sabha meetings, the chief minister said that the people of Tamil Nadu will not fall for this. They are clever and know who is working for them, he remarked. He also claimed that M K Stalin had not done any of this when he was a minister.
“Meeting people now is fake advertisement for Stalin. As far as I know, Stalin had not visited any village when he was minister. It is considering the upcoming elections that he is conducting this drama,” Palaniswmai alleged.
In the event, Revenue Minister R B Udayakumar, Social Welfare Minister Dr V Saroja, Collector Rohini Ramdas Bhajibhakare, MPs V Panneerselvam, P R Sundaram, Kamaraj, MLAs Venkatachalam, Sakthivel, Chitra, Manonmani, Raja, Maradhamuthu, Vettrivel and department officials participated.
