TN CM Vijay launches scathing attack on DMK, AIADMK
In a fresh salvo against the main Opposition DMK and the AIADMK, TVK supremo and Tamil Nadu Chief Minister C Joseph Vijay on Friday yet again dubbed the MK Stalin-led party as an “evil force” and alleged collusion between the two Dravidian giants and the BJP as well.
He was addressing a campaign here for the October 6 bypoll, necessitated due to the resignation of AIADMK’s K Maragatham Kumaravel, who later joined Vijay’s TVK. She has been re-nominated.
Harping on TVK’s “clean governance and pure force” plank, Vijay accused the DMK of corruption and charged it with colluding with the AIADMK even in the horrendous case of abuse of girls by granite baron R Veeramani.
The DMK, as they were unable to level any allegation against the ruling party, out of frustration and irritation, has taken up a dangerous weapon. Vijay said he tolerated it even when they spoke badly about his own mother. But when they spoke obscenely about “my sisters and mothers in Tamil Nadu,” he could not accept it.
Both the DMK and the “DMK family” speak in such a manner, and Stalin and his family enjoy such speech. “This cannot be tolerated.”
Without mentioning the POCSO case against Veeramani directly, Vijay alleged the industrialist was abusing children for so many years. Though a complaint was lodged during the previous DMK regime, the entire crime and its history were buried.
He asked: “What was the deal, Tamil Nadu is asking. Stalin sir, open your mouth; joining hands with you, the AIADMK is also not opening its mouth; should there be collusion even in this issue, will you not open your mouth by having an understanding even in this matter.”
Hitting out at the DMK, Vijay also said that while a CM is a people’s servant, the DMK spoke as if it “owns the State.”
