Sat Mar 15 10:53:11 UTC 2025: ## AIADMK Slams DMK’s Delimitation Meeting as Political Maneuver
**Chennai, March 15, 2025** – AIADMK general secretary Edappadi K. Palaniswami today criticized the DMK government’s decision to hold a meeting on delimitation next week, accusing the ruling party of prioritizing political gains over addressing the needs of the people. Speaking to reporters, Palaniswami questioned the DMK’s silence on the two-language formula during inter-state meetings, suggesting their proposals would be poorly received by other states. He highlighted Karnataka and Telangana’s acceptance of the National Education Policy as evidence. He further criticized the DMK’s alleged inaction on inter-state river disputes during their previous 13 years in central and state power.
Palaniswami also leveled accusations of corruption against the DMK government, citing media reports of farmers allegedly paying bribes at Direct Purchase Centres. He condemned the government’s failure to provide quality inputs, seeds, and crop insurance to farmers, particularly during the Kuruvai cultivation season. He described the recent agriculture budget, presented by M.R.K. Panneerselvam, as disappointing and lacking in benefits for farmers. The AIADMK leader’s criticism comes amidst ongoing political tensions in Tamil Nadu.
