Tamil Nadu Chief Minister and AIADMK top leader K Palaniswami on Thursday described the party's wins in byelections to two assembly segments as a victory for 'truth' and an 'endorsement' of his government's "good work".

The AIADMK on Thurdsay wrested Vikravadni and Nanguneri assembly seats from the DMK and Congress respectively by impressive margins with the victory coming as a morale booster to the ruling party that faced a rout in the Lok Sabha polls in April this year.

Palaniswami said his government has been implementing all the welfare schemes launched by late Chief Minister J Jayalalithaa. Also, several new initiatives, including water conservation project 'Kudimaramathu', under which water bodies were desilted with people's participation, have also been introduced.

The bypoll victory was, hence, an endorsement of his government's good work, he said, adding "by seeing the benefits to the people through such initiatives, people have reposed their faith on us and have given us the evictory."
