'Ungaludan Stalin' a poll gimmick to collect phone numbers, claims EPS

THE DMK government's Ungaludan Stalin programme, set to be launched across the state from July 15, is nothing but an election gimmick to collect people's phone numbers for political outreach, alleged AIADMK general secretary Edappadi K Palaniswami in Salem, on Monday.

Addressing the media after inaugurating the AIADMK's Salem Urban and district office at Neduncahalai Nagar, EPS appealed to Deputy Chief Minister Udayanidhi Stalin to save the DMK alliance, since there were various contradictory opinions within the DMK alliance being reported.

Responding to Udhayanidhi's recent jibe at the AIADMK-BJP alliance, EPS dismissed it, saying Udhayanidhi had no role to comment on other parties' coalitions. "He is not an astrologer to make predictions. Instead, he should look at his own party's alliance, which is filled with contradictions," he said.
