'No threat from new political parties'

The All India Anna DMK has stressed it faces no threat from new political parties in the state. 

Tamil Nadu chief minister Edappadi K Palaniswami told his party's General Council meeting that the AIADMK's political alliance is strong. 

He also rejected the opposition DMK's criticism that his government has not done enough for the people. 

Palaniswami said the grievances of over five lakh people were resolved by the government's special initiatives among other programs.

He also pointed out that former AIADMK leader TTV Dinakaran and his family had caused many problems for his party.
