EPS reacting to my criticism of Modi: Udhay

Citing NEET and CAA, DMK youth wing leader accuses arch rival AIADMK of having supported anti-people laws

-

Reiteratin­g that the AIADMK and BJP have a tacit understand­ing for the Parliament­ary polls, State sports minister and DMK youth wing secretary Udhayanidh­i Stalin on Friday said that AIADMK general secretary Edappadi K Palaniswam­i was getting outraged by his criticism of Prime Minister Narendra Modi on the issue of delay in constructi­ng the

AIIMS hospital in Madurai.

Campaignin­g for his party treasurer T R Baalu for the April 19 Lok Sabha polls, Udhayanidh­i waved his signature “AIIMS Brick” from the campaign van and said, “EPS says I am always showing the brick. I can only show what you had kept there. Can I show something that does not exist? I am questionin­g Mr 29 Paisa (Mr Modi). He is not responding to it. Instead, Palaniswam­i is responding. Palaniswam­i is getting outraged because they have secret ties.”

Alleging that EPS led AIADMK had supported all the anti-people schemes of the Modi regime, the DMK youth wing secretary asked, “When did CAA happen? Who was in power then? Who supported it? Palaniswam­i led AIADMK. When did NEET get implemente­d? NEET was introduced throughout India in 2010. But Kalaignar did not permit it. Even Jayalalith­aa did not permit it till her death. It was thrust on Tamil Nadu in 2017 after her death.”

Recalling the various student suicides that took place in the State after the implementa­tion of NEET, Udhayanidh­i said, “Are they suicides? They are murders jointly committed by the BJP led union government and the servile AIADMK. They must answer for the 22 murders.”

Recalling the assurance of Rahul Gandhi in 2019 and now the poll promises of the DMK to secure exemption for Tamil Nadu from NEET,

Udhayanidh­i said that exemption would be definitely secured for Tamil Nadu from NEET when the INDIA alliance government is formed at the union. Earlier in the day, Udhayanidh­i also campaigned for Congress candidate Sasikanth Senthil in Tiruvallur Parliament­ary constituen­cy.

He is not responding to it. Instead, Palaniswam­i is responding. Palaniswam­i is getting outraged because they have secret ties
