DMK president M.K. Stalin on Thursday alleged that the failure of Governor Banwarilal Purohit to take action on the petitions against Chief Minister Edappadi K. Palaniswami and his Cabinet colleagues was proof that the Central government was offering its support to the AIADMK regime.
“We will not allow it to go on and will continue to hold protests,” Mr. Stalin told reporters after meeting Chennai district secretaries of his party, who were arrested when they tried to hold a demonstration in front of the Raj Bhavan, seeking a probe into the allegation that Mr. Palaniswami had a role in the 2017 Kodanad estate break-in and murder case.

Mr. Stalin also accused the Chief Minister of converting the Global Investors Meet (GIM) into an election campaign for the AIADMK and seeking to deceive the people of the State with the claim that 304 memoranda of understanding (MoUs) had been signed.
“The GIM is just a gimmick,” he said.
