Jayalalithaa just opposes whatever the ruling party does: Karunanidhi hits back on Mullai Periyar Dam Issue

Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M. Karunanidhi on Tuesday said that the opposition parties just keep opposing whatever the ruling party does, as a counter to AIADMK Chief Ms J Jayalalithaa, who slammed DMK on its decision to boycott the Supreme court appointed committee on Mullaperiyar Dam issue.

In a write-up in party mouthpiece 'Murasoli' , Karunanidhi, without naming her, said "they had prepared a statement slamming the DMK in anticipation that it will ask the government to appoint its representative in the committee."

"But they later changed everything and prepared a statement afresh after DMK resolved against nominating Tamil Nadu's representative to the committee," he said, adding opposition parties were doing such things "only to counter" whatever the ruling DMK did.

Reacting to the DMK General council's decision, Jayalalithaa had criticised Karuanidhi, saying the state's absence in the committee may favor Kerala and demanded nominating a member to Supreme Court constituted committee.
