MADURAI: Tamil Nadu Revenue Minister Mr.R.B.Udayakumar has today openly came in support of Mr.Edappadi K.Palaniswami for his good work as Chief Minister and winning the people’s trust with his good work in the last three years. “There is a talk about CM candidate…..Our CM Mr.EPS has done a splendid job after the demise of great leader ‘Amma’. With the support of Mr.OPS and senior Ministers, he did a good job and the result was already seen in Assembly by-elections in Tamil Nadu. Under the leadership of EPS and OPS, we defeated the DMK,” Mr.R.B.Udayakumar told reporters in Madurai on 12th August 2020.
He added that when the AIADMK faced a huge shock due to the passing away of supremo Ms.Jayalalithha and there were doubts about the survival of government, Mr.Edappadi Palaniswami showed his mettle as a leader, as a simple man, as an accessible leader and as a CM who gave stable government in Tamil Nadu.
Mr.Udayakumar’s words assume significance because of another Minister Mr.Rajendra Balaji’s open support for EPS as CM face of the AIADMK for 2021 Tamil Nadu Assembly elections.
