Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Accuses AIADMK of Aligning with DMK
Tamil Nadu CM Vijay claims AIADMK has become a branch of DMK, urging voters to reject their alliance in upcoming elections.
Chennai, September 30 (Daily Kiran) : Chief Minister Vijay, also the leader of the Tamilaga Vettire Kazhagam (TVK), has accused the AIADMK of becoming a mere extension of the DMK. Speaking at a campaign event for TVK candidate Sathybama in Dharapuram ahead of the October 6 by-elections, he highlighted that both parties share similar political interests and strategies.
Vijay emphasized that he approached voters not just as the Chief Minister but as a fellow family member. He reiterated his government’s commitment to eradicating corruption and fulfilling electoral promises step by step. Rejecting a royalist approach to politics, he criticized certain leaders for behaving as if they remain in power.
The Chief Minister asserted that the AIADMK has indirectly allied itself with the DMK, which he believes undermines the legacies of former Chief Ministers M.G. Ramachandran and J. Jayalalitha. Defending Sathybama’s decision to leave the AIADMK, he stated that she resigned from her position as a legislator before joining the TVK, insisting that her party switch was not tied to any political bargaining.
During her speech, Sathybama became emotional, revealing that online harassment over her resignation forced her to turn off her phone for two months. Vijay was seen comforting her during this moment.
Questioning the AIADMK’s responses regarding the Sarkaria Commission, Vijay accused the party of supporting the DMK and asserted that only the TVK stands in opposition. He also criticized DMK leader M.K. Stalin’s political rhetoric, claiming it promotes abuse and hatred.
Vijay concluded by stating that attacks on the TVK would only strengthen the party and increase its support.
