Talking to reporters outside the Assembly hall, Palaniswami said the party MLAs staged a walk out highlighting a host of issues that included the law and order situation, vindictive action against former ministers in the form of DVAC raids, scrapping the schemes brought by the previous AIADMK regime and the non-fulfillment of elections promises made by the DMK.

Meanwhile, state Industries Minister Thangam Thennarasu said that neither Leader of Opposition Edappadi K Palanisami nor his party AIADMK deserve to criticise the DMK regime.

But, I do not know if I should be amused or feel sad about the accusations he leveled against the government after walking out of the House.”
