Party cites govt. disbanding schemes of previous regime as reason
The AIADMK on Wednesday staged a walkout from the Assembly, ahead of voting on the resolution against CAA, citing the DMK government disbanding a number of projects implemented by the AIADMK regime. Speaking to the media after the walk out, the Leader of the Opposition and former Chief Minister, Edappadi K. Palaniswami, said the party wanted to raise the issue of the DMK disbanding a number of schemes launched by the previous government. “We had got permission, the Governor’s assent and finalised a Vice-Chancellor for the Dr. J. Jayalalithaa University in Villupuram, but elections were announced and we could not proceed because to that. The DMK government is now merging the university with Annamalai University solely because it has Amma’s [former Chief Minister Jayalalithaa] name,” Mr. Palaniswami said.
