Falling at feet to seek blessings is part of Tamil Nadu culture, asserts Palaniswami

AIADMK general secretary and former Chief Minister Edappadi K. Palaniswami said on Friday that falling at someone’s feet to seek their blessings was a part of the culture of Tamil Nadu. He was responding to criticism by DMK leader and Deputy Chief Minister Udhayanidhi Stalin.

Addressing a gathering in Kancheepuram, where he was campaigning for the AIADMK alliance candidates, Mr. Palaniswami asked: “What is the culture of Tamil Nadu? When someone reaches a good position, we have to get their blessings. Is that not it?”
