Sasikala, “who made him Chief Minister.” Ms. Kanimozhi was campaigning in Tirupattur for Kavitha, the DMK candidate for the Jolarpet Assembly constituency, ahead of the Tamil Nadu Assembly elections. She said that Mr. Palaniswami has not done any good for the people of Tamil Nadu during his years as the Leader of the Opposition in the State Assembly after the 2021 polls.
