“Centre didn’t ask to raise property tax, DMK Govt is lying and shifting blame”: Edappadi K. Palaniswami

AIADMK joint coordinator and Leader of Opposition, Edappadi K. Palaniswami launched a scathing attack on the MK Stalin-led DMK government saying that Chief Minister has done nothing productive for the people in the last 10 months and has been busy promoting himself with the help of media.

Leading the protest at Trichy, Mr. Palaniswami accused Chief Minister Stalin looting people’s money and investing it in Dubai.

The AIADMK is primarily protesting against the property tax hike which has been increased by 50-150%. While the DMK has said that they have done so based on the guidelines of the ‘Union government’, Palaniswami said that there was no such mandate from the Centre.

He said that the DMK government is trying to shift the blame in an attempt to confuse the people.

Mr. Palaniswami also hit out at the government for stopping some of the schemes of the erstwhile AIADMK government like the – marriage assistance scheme.

He also pointed out that it was the AIADMK government which brought 11 colleges to the state which the Stalin government had recently inaugurated in the presence of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Figuratively speaking, Mr. Palaniswami said that by inaugurating various development projects that were initiated by the previous AIADMK government, CM Stalin was resorting to naming other’s children.
