Madhuranthakam/ Dharapuram: DMK Youth Wing leader and Leader of the Opposition Udhayanidhi has criticized that people have started driving away TVK candidates who come asking for votes.
Speaking further in support of candidate Paranthaman, who is contesting on behalf of the DMK in the Madurantakam constituency, Udhayanidhi said: On this very day last year, he arrived 10 hours late saying he was going to campaign in Karur, and without even arranging drinking water for the people there, a stampede occurred and 41 lives, including children, were lost. For this incident, today’s Chief Minister, then, did not even offer comfort to the affected people and ran away without meeting the public.
The journalists did not even answer the question. This Chief Minister has no sense of guilt or conscience whatsoever. The current election did not come about naturally. He sent out the sofa and invited the parties. He split the AIADMK into two and sent the sofa only to one faction.
He spread false claims that money was given to DMK voters. But Vijay, using a new technology, has bought even MLAs. Within 10 days, AIADMK MLAs had moved to the TVK side. They are the ones now coming back to you asking for votes. But the people of the constituency have started driving away TVK candidates. He said this.
Kanimozhi campaigns today: Similarly, in the Dharapuram constituency, DMK Deputy General Secretary and Lok Sabha member Kanimozhi will today (28th) undertake an election tour and seek votes. Accordingly, at 4:30 p.m. in Gundadam West Union, Manorpalai
Starting from Yath, he is set to campaign from an open van at 4 places, including Govindapuram, Manakkadavu, and Klangkundal. DMK sources said this.
