The Chief minister countered the charges leveled by the DMK leader MK Stalin that the AIADMK government was a slave of the BJP government at the centre and added ,” 1 lakh crore of development projects were executed in the state of Tamil Nadu and it is owing to the cordial relationship which we have with the Central government and we have entered into an electoral understanding with the BJP for the welfare of the people of Tamil Nadu.”

Edappady K Palaniswami also said that the AIADMK has promised several welfare schemes for the people of the state and that this will be possible only if the state government is having an excellent and cordial relationship with the Central government.
