Chennai, Oct 3 (PTI) AIADMK general secretary Edappadi K Palaniswami on Friday claimed that Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M K Stalin was “attempting to seek political gains” over the Karur stampede incident and sought to know if he visited Kallakurichi, where a hooch tragedy occurred, or Vengaivayal village, where drinking water was contaminated with human faeces.
Seeking to turn the tables against Stalin, who earlier in the day accused the BJP of attempting to seek electoral gain over the stampede on September 27 that left 41 dead, Palaniswami said the Chief Minister should introspect before accusing others.
“You showed urgency in rushing to Karur. Why didn’t you go to Kallakurichi or Vengaivayal or even visit the houses of families affected by the death of their dear ones in the Marina air
