Tamil Nadu CM Edappadi K Palaniswami
CHENNAI: Chief minister Edappadi K Palaniswami on Monday stepped on the populist gas, promising a monthly honorarium of Rs 1,500 to women heads of families and six domestic LPG cylinders per year free to every household in Tamil Nadu.
He accused DMK president M K Stalin of hijacking this promise from the yet-to-be-released AIADMK manifesto. Stalin had, while unveiling the DMK’s vision statement in Trichy on Sunday, promised Rs 1,000 to the head woman of all families in the state. MNM president Kamal Haasan, too, had charged Stalin with stealing the idea, which he said was his. Stalin retorted that the idea was borrowed from a European model.
Actor politician Kamal Haasan-led Makkal Needhi Maiam has finalised a seat sharing pact with its allies All India Samathuva Makhal Katchi and Indiya Jananayaka Katchi for the April 6, 2021 assembly polls.
