OPS-EPS govt. has given T.N. a bad reputation: Chidambaram

Former Finance Minister P. Chidambaram on Thursday accused the government led by Chief Minister Edappadi K. Palaniswami and Deputy Chief Minister O. Panneerselvam of giving the State and its people a “bad reputation”.
Speaking at a public meeting in Karumathampatti to support Pongalur N. Palanisamy, the candidate of the Secular Progressive Alliance for the upcoming Sulur byelections, Mr. Chidambaram called the incumbent State government a “farce” and a “puppet government.”
Mr. Chidambaram said those who rejected Prime Minister Narendra Modi must also reject the ‘jodi’, referring to Mr. Palaniswami and Mr. Panneerselvam. Criticising the State government for not condemning Union Minister Piyush Goyal for saying that the National Eligibility-cum-Entrance Test (NEET) would continue to be conducted in Tamil Nadu, Mr. Chidambaram said the incident had exposed which side the AIADMK was on.
