TVK Executive Committee Chief Coordinator Sengottaiyan has criticized the NDA public meeting held in Maduranthakam. Sengottaiyan said, “The crowd gathered only after receiving a 1000 rupees. There was no applause at the meeting. While 20,000 people were sleeping there, Edappadi Palaniswami was speaking about overthrowing the DMK. Not a single person applauded.”
