Edappadi K Palaniswami campaigns for AIADMK in by-elections

AIADMK General Secretary Edappadi K Palaniswami is campaigning for the upcoming by-elections in the Madurantakam and Dharapuram Assembly constituencies. During his appeals to voters, Palaniswami alleged that the ruling party has engaged in horse trading to weaken the AIADMK and lure its MLAs.

In Dharapuram, Palaniswami criticized former AIADMK MLA Sathyabama, who resigned and joined the TVK, calling her a “traitor” and urging voters to deliver a verdict against her. He also attacked the current administration for failing to control rising prices, deteriorating law and order, and frequent power cuts.

Palaniswami emphasized his identity as an ordinary person rather than a political heir or cinema star, stating that the party's “two leaves” symbol must be protected as it was by former Chief Ministers MG Ramachandran and J Jayalalithaa.
