Defeated in 10 successive polls, TN electorate will bid final goodbye to EPS for aligning with BJP: Stalin

Chennai, July 16 (UNI) Handing out defeats in a row in 10 successive elections since the 2019 Lok Sabha poll, the people of Tamil Nadu will bid a final goodbye to AIADMK general secretary Edappadi K Palaniswami (EPS) at the hustings in 2026, Chief Minister and DMK president MK Stalin asserted today.
Slamming the leader of the principal opposition, he said “You have blamed the alliance with the BJP as the reason for the AIADMK’s defeat in the 2021 assembly election and your partymen have also openly admitted to this."
"Yet, you have aligned with the same BJP now. Entangled in a duplicitous game with Delhi, you have mortgaged the party with crores of members, only to save your family,” Stalin said, speaking at a government function in Mayiladuthurai after laying the foundation for various projects and inaugurating completed ones.
