CHENNAI: AIADMK general secretary Edappadi K Palaniswami, clad in a black shirt, along with senior leaders, including KP Munuswamy, Dindigul Srinivasan, visited the memorial of Annadurai and paid floral tributes on the late Dravidian icon’s death anniversary.
In a post on ‘X’, Palaniswami said, “It is the duty of the AIADMK, bearing Anna’s name, to rescue Tamil Nadu from the clutches of ‘evil’ forces (referring to the ruling DMK).
With the support of the people, we will bring an end to this DMK rule in the state. We shall re-establish the good governance of AIADMK that honours Anna.That will be a rich tribute for the great scholar.”
The AIADMK leader said, across generations, Annadurai is called Anna (elder brother) and Perarignar (great scholar). “Anna used to say younger brother, go to the people, learn from them and serve them.
He did not just speak these words; he practised till his last breath. Today is the memorial day of our Perarignar Anna”, Palaniswami said.
