Alliance news has struck CM Stalin like lightning

CHENNAI: Joining issue with Chief Minister MK Stalin on his criticism over the revival of alliance between the AIADMK and the BJP, AIADMK general secretary Edappadi K Palaniswami on Saturday said the news about the ties had struck the DMK president like lightning and this could be seen in his ‘panicky’ reaction to the development.

Palaniswami, in a statement, said Stalin has several ministers who have faced ED raids and they are now alleging that the AIADMK has mortgaged itself after two raids. “Can you say which central agency conducted a raid on me or any of our former ministers? Can people forget the 2G scam and those who were imprisoned for that and a minister who was imprisoned even while a case is pending?”
