DMK's Rs 5,000 Women's Grant Driven by Poll Fear: Palaniswami

• AIADMK General Secretary Edappadi K Palaniswami alleged DMK's Kalaignar Women’s Rights Scheme was announced due to fear of defeat in upcoming elections.
• Palaniswami claimed the Rs 5,000 grant, combining three months' assistance and summer relief, was not for public welfare but electoral gain.
• He accused the DMK government of delaying the scheme for 27 months and not extending benefits to all eligible families as promised.
• Palaniswami compared laptop distribution, stating AIADMK provided 52 lakh students, while DMK only gives to college students for youth votes.
