The ongoing political tussle in Tamil Nadu intensifies, with AIADMK general secretary Edappadi K. Palaniswami strongly criticizing the ruling DMK for hiking taxes and not controlling inflation over the past four years.

Palaniswami accused the DMK government of worsening citizens' financial burdens by increasing power tariffs, property, and drinking water taxes without addressing inflation woes.
