    Many people desire the scheme, only 11% opposed it: Palaniswami

    Palaniswami further said, "Many people desire the scheme while some are against it..on the whole, 89% of people did not oppose land acquisition proceedings for the project and it was only 11% who opposed."

    Farmers, public opposing this highway project

    The highway project was opposed by sections of farmers, and the public as well.

    Addressing about 1,000 people, who joined the ruling party in his presence from various parties including the DMK on December 14, the Chief Minister had said that he exemplified the fact that even an ordinary party worker could occupy top positions in the AIADMK.

    Achievement

    Palaniswami besides being the co-coordinator of the AIADMK is also the headquarters secretary and Salem rural district secretary.

    Noting that the AIADMK was a cadre centric party, the Chief Minister said he too began his career in the party as a modest branch secretary of Siluvampalayam in the district and went on to occupy the post of Chief Minister in the government.
