In a statement, Mr. Palaniswami recalled that Chief Minister M.K. Stalin, while in the Opposition, had protested against any increase in property tax rates and his party had promised, at the time of the 2021 Assembly election, that there would be no hike in the rates of property tax.

Ravi for what he termed as the latter’s defamatory remarks against the State government on the issue of a Scheduled Caste (SC) woman’s inability take charge as panchayat president in Tirupattur district.
He alleged that it did not suit the office of the Governor “to disturb the peace” prevailing in the State “by speaking like the spokesperson for the BJP and the RSS”. He further alleged that the Governor’s remarks were not out his concern for the SCs and the STs, but due to his perturbation that “the social justice principles of the Dravidian model [DMK] government” was preventing the BJP and affiliated organisations from gaining influence in the Tamil land.
