In Chennai, Chief Minister M. K. Stalin strongly responded to comments made by Edappadi K. Palaniswami for the second day in a row.
Speaking at a campaign rally in Chengalpattu on Thursday, Stalin said he is not afraid of death. He replied to Palaniswami’s remark that “Stalin would have gone in Covid” by saying that everyone has to face death one day.
Stalin said, “Palaniswami, everyone will die one day. Even I will die and be buried. But no one has the courage to remove the welfare schemes introduced by me.”
He made these comments while campaigning for candidates of the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam. He was also supporting K. Selvaperunthagai during the campaign.
Stalin used the speech to defend his government’s work and highlight the welfare schemes introduced under his leadership. He said these schemes are strong and will continue to benefit people even in the future.
The exchange of sharp remarks between leaders has added intensity to the election campaign in Tamil Nadu.
