Posters in Karur call chief min Palaniswami revolutionary leader

Trichy: Posters have cropped up in Karur district projecting chief minister Edappadi K Palaniswami as Vazhum Puratchi Thalaivar (living revolutionary leader), a prefix with which former chief minister M G Ramachandran used to be addressed.

The posters show EPS in MGR’s attire with the trademark fur cap and dark glasses.

Words of praise have been showered on the CM for waiving farm loans and bringing happiness to farmers. Karur district AIADMK MGR youth wing secretary N Dhanesh @ Muthu Kumar, who pasted the posters across the district, said CM EPS is indeed a “living MGR due to his good governance.”

It was not just the farm loans, but people were happy with the way the CM was leading the state.

“Be it in terms of giving Pongal gift or other beneficial schemes, he stands for the welfare of the people as party founder MGR did,” said Muthu Kumar.

He said DMK party members in the district had told him that the decision on farm loan waiver had spoiled the prospects of the opposition party in the election.

Muthukumar had depicted EPS as Bahubali in posters he released during new year in which the latter was shown taking oath for a second term in office.
