EPS' speech at rally led to 108 staff attack: DMK
The New Indian Express Dharmapuri
|August 26, 2025
The DMK has criticised AIADMK general secretary Edappadi K Palaniswami for the attack on 108 ambulance staff at Thuraiyur in Tiruchy on Sunday, saying his "irresponsible and provocative speech during an earlier meeting led to this attack."
AIADMK general secretary Edappadi K Palaniswami on Monday launched a scathing attack on DMK minister and Tiruchy East MLA KN Nehru, alleging 'large-scale land scams, misuse of authority and neglect of civic issues'.
Addressing a gathering on Bishop Road in Puthur as part of his election campaign, Palaniswami charged that Nehru and his associates were behind irregular land dealings, including 300 acres near the Panjapur integrated bus terminus. Palaniswami alleged that the new bus terminus was deliberately located adjacent to Nehru's landholdings to inflate their market value, and 500 acres belonged to G-Square, which functioned as a 'DMK proxy firm'.
