AIADMK leader and former Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu, Edappadi K. Palaniswami has challenged  the Tamil Nadu Chief Minister, M.K. Stalin to participate in a debate over the schemes implemented in the state during the previous government period of ten years and the present and half years of the DMK government.

The AIADMK leader was responding to the allegations made by Chief Minister Stalin on Tuesday at a public function that the previous AIADMK government during its ten years regime had taken the state backward.

Palaniswami said that the Reserve Bank of India in its industrial report had stated that Tamil Nadu has become the number one state of the country and that was only because of the steps taken by the previous AIADMK government.

The Opposition leader asked the Chief Minister whether any schemes were implemented for any new industries started during the eighteen months of his government.

He said that he was ready for any debate at any place regarding the schemes implemented and executed during the ten-year period of the previous AIADMK government (2011- 2021) and asked the Chief Minister to explain what schemes were implemented during the last 18 months of his regime.

Palaniswami said that the police have tracked the details of 2138 people who were selling ganja to students near educational institutions but could arrest only 148 such persons. He said that many of those involved in drug sales were closely associated with the DMK local leaders. EPS said that cocaine worth Rs 360 crores were seized from a DMK councilor recently.

He said that the previous DMK government had taken one and a half years for enacting legislation against online gaming activities.
