Palaniswami Criticizes TVK Government Over 'Administrative Incompetence'

AIADMK general secretary Edappadi K. Palaniswami has accused the TVK-led government of administrative incompetence, citing rising inflation, unemployment, and deteriorating law and order. Speaking at the party's 55th formation day in Maraimalai Nagar, he claimed the current administration rebrands older AIADMK schemes, such as the marriage assistance program, while struggling with state power utility debts.

Palaniswami further alleged that bribery persists despite government claims of transparency, pointing to recent anti-corruption raids. He also criticized the government’s handling of infrastructure projects and the procurement of power at high costs, while dismissing rumors of internal party instability.
