Niti Aayog meeting in nation’s interest, says Stalin

Political stance is different from cooperating with the government for the benefit of the country, Tamil Nadu chief minister MK Stalin said on Sunday, defending his decision to attend the NITI Aayog meeting chaired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi a day ago.

The DMK chief also dismissed Opposition AIADMK general secretary Edappadi Palaniswami’s claims that Stalin attended the meeting because there was some “sudden problem”, in a veiled reference to ED raids in a money-laundering probe against state-run Tamil Nadu State Marketing Corporation (TASMAC).
