DMK Defends Performance of Amma Canteens Against AIADMK Criticism

The DMK has criticized AIADMK chief Edappadi K Palaniswami for questioning the current administration of Amma Canteens, which saw closures during his tenure. DMK's official organ 'Murasoli' defends the canteens' operation under Chief Minister M K Stalin, emphasizing consistent funding and better service since assuming office in 2021.

The ruling DMK, hitting out at AIADMK chief Edappadi K Palaniswami for his criticism of the state government over Amma Canteens, on Wednesday challenged his authority to comment, noting closures during his regime.

DMK's official Tamil organ 'Murasoli' asserted that the canteens function better under the DMK regime, referencing Palaniswami's 2018 statement on shutdowns due to losses.

After Chief Minister M K Stalin inspected an Amma Canteen, Palaniswami alleged closures and reduced quality since 2021. Murasoli countered, praising consistent funding and service by the current government.
