AIADMK general secretary Edappadi K. Palaniswami on Sunday said DMK president and Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M.K. Stalin was at the height of ‘vanity’ and ‘unjustified pride’ that the DMK’s alliance was strong while the opposition AIADMK led alliance is weak. However, the results of the Lok Sabha polls on June 4 would reveal who would win the elections.
Addressing a public meeting canvassing votes for the Kallakurichi Lok Sabha constituency AIADMK candidate R. Kumaraguru, he said unlike the DMK, the AIADMK did not depend on the alliance strength and it was only dependent on the people.
Mr. Stalin was only indulging in a pipe dream and we wish that this dream continues so that the Chief Minister’s assumptions would be disproved during the election results, he said.
Launching a scathing attack on the Chief Minister, the AIADMK leader said the DMK government had done nothing in the last three years to claim credit.
According to him, law and order had collapsed in the State. Ganja and drugs were freely available. The government, which was supposed to crack down on those selling drugs, was soft pedalling the issue.
Mr. Palaniswami said the decade long AIADMK rule was not dark as claimed by the Chief Minister but it was a people’s government. He said the Chief Minister during his election campaigns had been dubbing the period when the AIADMK was in power, as a ‘dark rule’.
