Namakkal, April 19 -- AIADMK General Secretary Edappadi K Palaniswami on Sunday criticised the DMK government for opposing the Women's Reservation Amendment Bill, saying they would not be forgiven for their stand.
Addressing a poll rally in Tiruchengode constituency, he asked, "What exactly did the Central government propose? It was a Bill granting 33 per cent reservation for women, yet the DMK opposed it. It was the Congress and the DMK that obstructed the rights women were set to receive."
Elections to 234 Assembly seats in Tamil Nadu will be held on April 23.
Claiming that the AIADMK genuinely supports reservation for women, the former CM said parties aligned with the DMK lacked commitment to the cause.
