Chennai, February 19 The leader of the opposition, Edappadi K Palaniswami of the AIADMK, accused the DMK government of raising the issue of state autonomy with an eye on the upcoming Assembly elections.
He questioned why the DMK did not consider state autonomy when it was part of the central government during the tenures of then-Prime Ministers I K Gujral and H D Deve Gowda.
"You did not consider state autonomy then. You are talking about it now because the elections are approaching," Palaniswami said while speaking in the Assembly.
