Chennai, May 13 (IANS). The political turmoil in Tamil Nadu politics has intensified after the trust vote. Former Chief Minister and Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) chief MK Stalin has issued a long statement on social media making serious allegations against the Tamil Nadu Vetri Kazhagam (TVK) government.
Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) chief MK Stalin said on social media platform X that his party had already made it clear that the DMK will not create any obstacle in the formation or survival of the TVK government. Following this stance, TMK MLAs boycotted the trust vote and walked out of the House.
Stalin said that his coalition partners in the Assembly, Premlata Vijayakanth, Professor Jawaharullah, Thamimun Ansari and Nithyanandan also supported him by walking out of the House. He expressed gratitude towards all these leaders. Meanwhile, allies like CPI, CPI(M), IYIML and VCK voted in favor of the government to prevent the possibility of President’s rule. Stalin also respected his decision.
However, Stalin alleged that TVK was now breaking the trust of those who had paved the way for the formation of the government. He said that in the last three days, it has become clear from the activities of the ruling party and the statements of allies that the government has deviated from its promise of “clean politics”.
The DMK chief accused TVK of taking advantage of AIADMK’s internal dispute and favoring its MLAs. He said that those who came to power on the slogan of “clean politics” have now indulged in “dirty politics”.
Stalin sarcastically said that the public is now asking the question that if the government is starting with this kind of politics, then what will happen next. Addressing the Chief Minister, he said that the people of Tamil Nadu are keeping an eye on every activity of the government and are also watching what kind of “return gift” will be given to the MLAs associated with AIADMK.
At the end of his statement, Stalin said that DMK will not back down from its ideology and will continue to play the role of a strong and constructive opposition in the state. After his statement, a new debate has started in Tamil Nadu politics.
