Chidambaram only a "burden on earth," says TN CM

Tamil Nadu Chief Minister K Palaniswami on Tuesday launched a blistering attack on P Chidambaram, saying the veteran Congress leader was "only a burden on earth."
In an apparent reference to Palaniswami being made chief minister in 2017, following internal rumblings in the wake of then chief minister J Jayalalithaa's death, Karti said the former had come to the post by virtue of a "historic accident."
Speaking to reporters in Dindigul, Karti said the chief minister's "conscience will prick when he offers prayers tomorrow."
Expressing dissatisfaction over non-cooperation of opposition parties, the Congress leader had said, "I know we do not have majority in Lok Sabha, but had the seven parties (AIADMK, YSRCP, TRS, BJD, AAP, TMC, JDU) cooperated, the opposition would have been in majority in RS. This is something disappointing."
