Chennai: DMK President M K Stalin lashed out at Chief Minister Edappadi K Palaniswami for the AIADMK’s support to the controversial farmers’ bills in Parliament while Revenue Minister R B Udhayakumar accused Stalin of raring to start a political fight over the issue on Wednesday.
Speaking to the media after attending a Covid-19 related event in Chennai, Udhayakumar said the Chief Minister had clarified that the bills would not be detrimental to the interest of farmers and charged Stalin with launching a false propaganda.
Stalin in a lengthy statement said Palaniswami had no moral right to call himself a farmer as a farmer would not support an anti-farmer legislation, adding that the bill that the AIADMK had supported did not even mention ‘minimum support price,’ something for which farmers in the country had been fighting for.
