**Chennai, March 17, 2025** – AIADMK general secretary Edappadi K. Palaniswami is demanding compensation for the family of Om Kumar, a man who reportedly died while waiting in line for darshan at the Arulmigu Subramania Swamy Temple in Tiruchendur, Tamil Nadu. Palaniswami criticized the DMK government for its alleged inaction, blaming the Minister for Hindu Religious and Charitable Endowments.
