Edappadi Palanisamy, co-coordinator of the AIADMK and Leader of the Opposition in the Tamil Nadu Legislative Assembly, who met reporters this morning (27/03/2022) in Omalur, Salem district, said, “Chief Minister MK Stalin’s visit to Dubai is like a family trip. “People are talking about going to Dubai to start a new business. Is the trip to Dubai attracting business investment? Is it tourism? Why did you go there when the Dubai Trade Fair was coming to an end?”
Responding to Edappadi Palanisamy’s video from Dubai, Tamil Nadu Industries Minister Thangam Tennarasu said, “Opposition leader Edappadi Palanisamy has criticized the Chief Minister’s overseas visit to Dubai today. Has been arranged.
Even for a separate flight that has been arranged, the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam is accepting the cost. I would like to make it clear first of all that government funds have not been spent. Second, our opposition leader has accused him of taking family trips.
The people of the country are realizing from the welcome given to him by the Tamil community who may have come here yesterday that he is making this trip not only to attract investments, but also for the upliftment and livelihood of every Tamil family who may have come and worked here from across Tamil Nadu.
He has said something else. Our World Trade Fair means that the Chief Minister has arrived as soon as possible. It has been postponed due to Govt; Yet even, even when it starts, it is not welcome; The biggest crowd is when it can. People from all over the world have been coming here for the past one week only. Therefore, I would like to clarify that this visit was made by the Chief Minister, realizing that it would be the right opportunity to come and open at this time. ”
