CHENNAI: Slamming Leader of Opposition Edappadi K Palaniswami for discrediting the three-year DMK regime led by Chief Minister M K Stalin, DMK organizing secretary said that EPS does not deserve to criticize the DMK regime and the people of Tamil Nadu and Puducherry would teach a lesson to 'traitor' EPS on June 4.

"Does EPS, who blacked out the AIADMK's return to power and celebrated his swearing in ceremony, deserve to talk about the three-year DMK regime, " the DMK organizing secretary wondered, adding that no one in Tamil Nadu knew Palaniswami was before February 16, 2017.

Hitting back at EPS' for his critique of the law and order situation in the DMK regime, Bharathi recalled the infamous Thoothukudi police firing, Pollachi sex racket, Nirmala Devi case, Gutkha scam and said the people would not have easily forgotten the misdeeds of the previous AIADMK regime led by EPS, whose tenure also saw Saathankulam alleged custodial double murder, award of tender to S P Velumani's relatives and raids at Vijayabhaskar's residence during R K Nagar by poll.

"Please wait Palaniswami! Only 27 days are left for June 4. People will teach a lesson to you in all 40 constituencies including Puducherry. It will become clear as to who is useless then, " Bharathi added.
