Chennai: After having put up the most vigorous and resolute defence of the eight-lane Salem-Chennai Expressway project, both inside and outside the Assembly in recent months, the Chief Minister and AIADMK’s co-coordinator Edappadi K Palaniswami appears to have suddenly done a 360 degree turn now.
While launching the AIADMK-BJP-PMK-DMDK alliance’s campaign for the April 18 Lok Sabha polls from Karumanthurai village near Salem couple of days back, Mr. Palaniswami, to reporters queries on the party’s stand on projects that destroy the livelihood of farmers like methane gas extraction in the Cauvery delta and the Salem-Chennai Expressway, said, “We will not implement anti-farmer projects.”
