The New Indian Express|April 04, 2024

'Women honorarium result of AIADMK's pressure on DMK'

Speaking in a campaign meeting in Karur, Palaniswami said "For 27 months after taking charge of the government, the DMK did not give ₹1,000. It was implemented after the AIADMK put pressure on the government both within the Assembly and outside.

Had we come to power in 2021, we would have given Urimai Thogai of ₹2,000." He added, "Stalin is afraid of failure, so he doesn't know what to say. He is seeking votes without mentioning the schemes introduced by him. People of Tamil Nadu have wasted 36 months by electing an incompetent person as chief minister.
