EPS draws flak for remark on alliance with Vijay’s TVK

Chennai Oct 11 (UNI) AIADMK’s glee at a possible tie-up with actor Vijay’s Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK), has invited ridicule from AMMK leader TTV Dhinakaran and key DMK ally, Thirumavalavan MP, as yet another attempt at backstabbing the BJP despite losing credibility.
It all started with the fluttering of a few TVK flags at a rally of AIADMK general secretary Edappadi K Palaniswami (EPS) at Komarapalayam two days ago and he took it as a signal of the two parties coming together.
“This heralds a new beginning. There is a resurgence and an alliance is in the offing. This will make Chief Minister MK Stalin sleepless,” said an excited EPS, enthusing the party cadre.
