Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) chief A. Raja, who stirred controversy earlier along with his “premature birth” jibe directed at Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Edapaddi Okay. Palaniswami, on Monday apologized for his remarks stating “it was taken out of context”.
“In Cuddalore yesterday, I explained that I didn’t speak ill about EPS (K Palaniswami) or his mother. I did so as I’m the eighth child of my mother. After this I came to know through media that the Chief Minister was hurt by my speech, I felt extremely hurt. I apologize from the bottom of my heart for the speech which was taken out of context,” he advised the media in Tamil Nadu’s Nilgiris district.
