The AIADMK victory in bypolls is just a forerunner to the party’s prospects in 2021 Assembly elections, Chief Minister Edappadi K Palaniswami said on Thursday, after the results were announced.
Palaniswami was beaming with joy when he arrived at the party headquarters.
“We promised only what we can fulfil. The people believed in our words and voted us. DMK, on the other hand invested in false promises,” he said.
Palaniswami said the people had reposed faith in the government after seeing the developmental and welfare schemes being implemented. Deputy Chief Minister O Panneerselvam echoed similar views.
