AIADMK General Secretary Edappadi K Palaniswami criticizes DMK government for planning a Formula 4 night street race in Chennai using taxpayer money. He argues for the funds to be used on welfare projects instead. Palaniswami suggests conducting the race at Madras Motor Race Track instead.

AIADMK General Secretary Edappadi K Palaniswami on Sunday admonished the DMK government in Tamil Nadu for its plan to organize a Formula 4 night street race in Chennai, alleging the misuse of taxpayers' money. Palaniswami urged the government to allocate funds for welfare initiatives instead.

Speaking at an event, the Opposition Leader noted the practicality of using the Madras Motor Race Track in Irungattukottai instead of congested city streets that are surrounded by hospitals and a railway station.

The race, initially planned for 2023, was deferred due to heavy rainfall and the impact of Cyclone Michaung. Palaniswami emphasized that the government should prioritize projects that benefit public welfare over extravagant events.
