AIADMK co-coordinator and Chief Minister Edappadi K. Palaniswami on Tuesday charged that DMK president was rattled by the AIADMK’s “mega alliance formed for the Lok Sabha elections and Assembly bypolls. Stalin does not know what he is speaking in election rallies,” he said. On the Sterlite issue, Mr. Palaniswami said that the erstwhile DMK government had granted approval for the expansion of the plant, when Mr. Stalin was the Minister of Industries. Mr. Palaniswami said the Udangudi Supercritical Thermal Power Station, which has a capacity of 2x660MW, would be functional by 2020-21. Thirty-one projects were taken up under the Smart Cities project at a cost of ₹1,075 crore, while 18 of them with a project cost of ₹435 crore were under way.
