DMK leader Udhayanidhi Stalin has launched a scathing attack on Congress for extending support to Chief Minister C Vijay Joseph’s Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) after the announcement of Tamil Nadu Assembly election result earlier this month.
Congress had been a part of the DMK alliance since the 2019 Lok Sabha elections. "DMK cadre was the reason for the Congress winning five MLAs. People voted for them because they wanted MK Stalin as the chief minister. But today, for some positions, they ran away without informing us. We should never trust Congress, which lacks basic gratitude and decency. We should never allow them near us. The people of Tamil Nadu will teach them a perfect lesson very soon," Udhayanidhi Stalin remarked.
Udhayanidhi also called out Congress for BJP’s rise across India. As per an NDTV report, DMK passed resolutions in which it termed Congress as "backstabbers" and "leeches" benefitting in the state because of MK Stalin.
"I thought (Prime Minister) Modi and Amit Shah were the reasons for the BJP's victory across India. But it is evident now that the Congress is the reason for the BJP's rise in India. Our leader, MK Stalin, carried the Congress on his shoulders in the last parliament and assembly elections," he said.
Meanwhile, former CM MK Stalin once again stated that the current government will not be able to finish its 5-year term.
"They have the support of 13 and 107, that is 120 MLAs. They tried to break AIADMK to show bigger numbers, but they failed. Even today, they are like a cat on the wall. There is no doubt, any time, any day, this government is going to fall," Stalin said.
Coming down heavily on CPI, CPI(M), VCK, and IUML. MK Stalin said, "Communists, VCK, and IUML went there to extend support to the government. But now they are part of the cabinet. Best wishes. Let us wait patiently and see what happens there. Surely, this is not a government that will complete a five-year tenure.”
