Virudhunagar, April 5: In a vibrant election atmosphere in Tamil Nadu, Chief Minister M.K. Stalin addressed a public gathering in Chathirareddiapatti near Virudhunagar on Sunday. During the event, he introduced candidates from the Secular Progressive Alliance (SPA) and launched a strong attack on opposition leader Palaniswami.
While addressing the crowd, CM Stalin emphasized the unity and strength of the alliance, expressing confidence in a significant victory in the region. He specifically mentioned the Tiruchuli constituency, noting that the opposition candidates are hesitant to contest against DMK candidate and state minister Thangam Thenarasu. He interpreted this as a testament to the minister’s strong public support and effective governance.
In his speech, CM Stalin referred to DMK-DMDK candidate Vijay Prabhakaran as ‘brother,’ signaling a unique political message amid the electoral competition. His primary focus remained on criticizing the AIADMK and its leadership.
The Chief Minister accused Palaniswami of making unfounded allegations instead of highlighting his achievements. He pointed out that the DMK government’s initiatives, particularly the coupon scheme launched for homemakers, are gaining immense popularity among the public. This scheme allows people to purchase essential goods as per their needs.
He stated, “The public is pleased with this scheme, but Palaniswami seems upset, possibly because there is no scope for any commission in it.”
CM Stalin also claimed that government employees would not support the AIADMK in the upcoming elections, as they have faith in the DMK government. He labeled Palaniswami’s comments about former Chief Minister M. Karunanidhi as misleading and disrespectful.
Furthermore, CM Stalin clarified that allegations regarding the absence of memorials for leaders like K. Kamaraj and Janaki Ramachandran at Chennai’s Marina Beach are unfounded. He reminded the audience that Karunanidhi paid his last respects to Kamaraj ‘like a son,’ reflecting the DMK’s tradition.
