Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Edappadi K Palaniswami on Sunday wondered why the DMK has submitted a motion seeking removal of Speaker P Dhanapal if it was confident of emerging victorious in bypolls to 22 Assembly constituencies in the State.
Referring to DMK submitting a resolution seeking removal of Speaker P Dhanapal after he sent notices to three AIADMK MLAs seeking their explanation over "anti-party" activities, Palaniswami said it was due to fear of defeat at the hustings.
Stalin has been claiming that his party would win in bypolls to all the 22 Assembly seats, he pointed out and wondered the rationale behind bringing a motion seeking Speaker's removal if the DMK was to win all the seats.
