India, Dec. 24 -- Tamil Nadu CM MK Stalin on Tuesday claimed AIADMK general secretary Edappadi K Palaniswami lacked the courage to protest against the Centre for removing Mahatma Gandhi's name from the rural employment scheme. Taking strong exception to Palaniswami's recent remark that Stalin "did not have the heart to appreciate" the G RAM G Act, which ensures 125 mandays, the CM said the Leader of the Opposition was unaware that the Centre imposed several conditions to implement the new legislation replacing MGNREGA.
