DMK govt taking credit for AIADMK schemes

COIMBATORE: AIADMK general secretary Edappadi K Palaniswami said the achievement of the Stalin government was putting a sticker on the schemes introduced by the AIADMK government and renaming it after Karunanidhi.

Speaking at the felicitation meeting held for implementing the Athikadavu-Avinashi ground water recharge project during the AIADMK regime in 2019, he accused DMK government for the delay in completing the project, at Annur in Coimbatore district on Sunday.

“I consider this felicitation ceremony as an appreciation from the farmers. The project was a 60-years of longstanding demand by farmers in the three districts. Officials suggested that the project could be implemented after getting financial assistance from the central government or getting a loan from banks. But we implemented the project through the state government’s fund as it would have been delayed if we had depended on other sources,” he said.
