EPS rebuts Vijay’s remarks on AIADMK, says TVK leader speaks out of 'ignorance'
Hours after Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam leader Vijay criticised the AIADMK leadership during the Madurai conference on Thursday, AIADMK General Secretary Edappadi K Palaniswami rebutted the actor-turned-politician by stating that he was speaking out of ‘ignorance’ without knowing the ground reality. He also ridiculed Vijay, saying he ‘pities’ the cadres who follow such a leader who wants instant success in politics.
“Today, a few are questioning who is heading and operating the AIADMK. I consider them to be speaking out of ignorance. Without even knowing this, a person has become the leader of a party. I wonder what his party cadres would be like, just thinking about it,” said Palaniswami, addressing a large gathering at Kancheepuram, which he described as comprising party functionaries, cadres and sympathisers.
