EPS warns of WB like situation in Tamilnadu


Chennai: AIADMK joint coordinator and former Chief Minister Edappadi K Palaniswami said that the Tamilnadu Assembly too would be prorogued just like West Bengal if there was misrule by DMK in the State.

Addressing a campaign in Salem, Palaniswami said the Governor may prorogue Assembly here in future, on the lines of West Bengal Assembly, if DMK is involved in irregularities.

‘The AIADMK will also not remain mute spectator, if DMK thinks of winning the polls through fraudulent means,’ he said.

Palaniswami alleged that the Tamilnadu State Election Commission (TNSEC) was acting in favour of the ruling DMK and demanded that it function objectively. Claiming the TNSEC functioned in a democratic manner during the AIADMK regime, he alleged it was now a puppet in the hands of the ruling party.

Coming down heavily on Chief Minister M K Stalin, EPS alleged the DMK was desperate to win the urban local body polls by any means. He also warned police and election officials to act in an unbiased manner.

Pointing out that the people are in anger against the DMK for failing to fulfill promises, EPS urged them to teach a befitting lesson in local body polls.
