EPS Mocks Stalin’s Claim Of DMK’s ‘Ideological Alliance’
What happened? AIADMK general secretary Edappadi K. Palaniswami said the DMK has taught a lesson to the parties that have supported it for the last 10 years by reducing the number of seats and giving more seats to the parties that have joined the alliance recently.
He questioned Chief Minister MK Stalin’s description of his front as an ‘ideological alliance’ when he introduced AIADMK candidates for Chengalpet and Kanchipuram districts at a public meeting held in Tambaram on Saturday evening. If alliance parties have the same ideology, why are they opposing each other in Kerala, he asked.
He asked the youth to differentiate between cinema and real life, adding cinema should be forgotten after watching it. Giving a clear advice to fans of Tamilaga Vetri Kazhagam (TVK) leader Vijay, the AIADMK leader said that cinema is like an illusion that will disappear from the screen.
He claimed that the AIADMK government opened 11 medical colleges in 10 years, but the DMK government could not bring even a single medical college. The AIADMK government under him faced multiple challenges, including drought, cyclones and the Covid-19 pandemic. Palaniswami said Stalin asked people about their dreams and the people’s dream was to overthrow his government.
“I am a farmer who knows the value of every rupee. I worked hard and gradually rose to the position I have today. We also entered the Parliament in 1989. Stalin rose to this post because his father was the Prime Minister. He still relies on his father’s support. Does he have any identity other than his father’s name?” The AIADMK leader said.
Countering Stalin’s slogan of a contest between Delhi and Tamil Nadu, Palaniswami said this was an Assembly election and not an election for Delhi. He reminded that in the 2001 Assembly elections, DMK was in alliance with the BJP.
