Cong, Left slam EPS over ‘1 nation, 1 election’ remark

15 February 2022, 1:20 pm

Former chief minister Edappadi K Palaniswami received a strong backlash from unusual quarters for his endorsement of the “one nation,one election” remark during the election campaign.

While a strong reaction from the ruling DMK was understandable, the AIADMK joint coordinator has faced the fury of DMK’s allies for his endorsement of the election policy of the BJP and critique of the DMK on NEET issue.

Congress MPs S Jothimani and Karti P Chidambaram have responded in kind to Palaniswami’s political views. Jothimani has humbled even DMK spokespersons by suggesting that the AIADMK would do well to merge with the BJP.

Campaigning for the secular party candidates in Karur, Jothimani took exception to AIADMK’s boycott of the all-party meet on NEET and said that if the AIADMK would boycott the meeting, barely an hour after BJP announced its decision, the party would do well to merge itself with the BJP.
