Palaniswami Criticises TN CM Vijay Over Office Shift Amid Farmer Protests
AIADMK chief Edappadi K Palaniswami criticised Tamil Nadu Chief Minister C Joseph Vijay for shifting his office to a modern room amid farmers' challenges, including water shortages affecting Kuruvai paddy cultivation. Palaniswami led statewide protests demanding crop loan waivers and condemned the state government's handling of Cauvery water allocation. Meanwhile, rebel AIADMK MLAs S P Velumani and Natham R Viswanathan skipped protests, opposing party directives to lead agitations outside their home districts. The political dynamics reflect ongoing tensions within AIADMK and between opposition and ruling parties.
