Govt planning to create Tenkasi district, says EPS

 Chief Minister Edappadi K Palaniswami told a party gathering that the State government was considering creating a new district by carving Tenkasi out of Tirunelveli. Palaniswami was addressing a party meeting in Tenkasi, where several AMMK functionaries rejoined AIADMK. Lashing out at M K Stalin for converting DMK into a political dynasty, Palaniswami said AIADMK, on the other hand, gave meritorious cadre to move up the ladder.
“When the late M Karunanidhi was the chief minister, he made his son M K Stalin his deputy. Now, the party has made Stalin’s son Udayanidhi the DMK’s youth wing secretary. Other family members of Karunanidhi like M K Kanimozhi and Dayanidhi Maran are also in the DMK. However, in AIADMK, even cadre like me can rise to the post of chief minister,” he said.
