New Delhi (PTI): Under intense opposition attack, Union Minister T R Baalu on Tuesday night dismissed demands for his resignation terming his detractors as those opposed to the Setu Samudram project and the OBC reservation.

"They are my well wishers. Since we are steadfast with the Setu Samudram project and on the issue of OBC reservation, they are making such demands," Baalu told PTI in a sarcastic response to the campaign by the BJP and AIADMK for his ouster.
