Chief Minister M.K. Stalin on Wednesday lashed out at Leader of Opposition Edappadi K. Palaniswami for questioning his upcoming visit to Delhi for the May 24 NITI Aayog meeting. Stalin said he was attending the meet to press Tamil Nadu’s rightful financial claims.
Taking to social media, Stalin asked, “Why does it pain EPS so much to see me raise my voice for the state?” He accused Palaniswami of hypocrisy and cowardice.
Stalin asserted that he would never compromise on Tamil Nadu’s rights and had even filed a case in the Supreme Court to secure the state’s dues.
This will be Stalin’s first NITI Aayog meeting since becoming Chief Minister in 2021.
