Tamil Nadu's EPS Chokes Up Over DMK Leaders Taunt: "People Will Punish" | Read

Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Edappadi Palaniswami, who has been the target of DMK leader A Raja's jibes including one comparing him to "MK Stalin's Slipper", almost broke down on Sunday while campaigning for the April 6 election as he spoke about what he called "hurtful" comments against him and his mother. "I am speaking not just for me... but what protection do your mothers and women have if this is what the mother of the Chief Minister has to endure? You can imagine what will happen if they come to power," Mr Palaniswami said in Tiruvottiyur in north Chennai, accusing Mr Raja of making "vulgar and scandalous speeches" against him.
