The New Indian Express Chennai
|September 10, 2025
DMK is the only party that steals kidneys from patients. They've now started stealing organs from the poor as there's nothing left to steal from them, said AIADMK general secretary Edappadi K Palaniswami while referring to complaints of irregularities in organ transplant cases linked to DMK functionaries.
Kick-starting his election campaign in Coimbatore on Tuesday, EPS rolled out a list of the AIADMK's election promises, including the revival of Amma Canteens, the opening of 4,000 Amma medical shops, measures to mitigate human-animal conflict in the region, and a cash gift of ₹2,500 for all ration card holders during Pongal.
