Won't hesitate to bring down AIADMK govt, says MK Stalin

Chennai: DMK will never hesitate to “bring down” the AIADMK Government led by Edappadi K. Palaniswami through “democratic means” to put an end to the “horse trading” administration, Opposition Leader and party Working President M.K. Stalin said on Sunday.

The DMK leader tore into Chief Minister for accusing him of “fishing in the troubled waters” of the AIADMK, saying this could only be considered as the “joke of the year.”

“It is Edappadi K. Palaniswami who is fishing in the troubled waters. It is not only me, who knows this, but AIADMK cadre and people of Tamil Nadu. As far as the DMK is concerned, we are an organisation, which believes in democracy. Since we are sure that we will emerge victorious (in the next elections), there is no need for us to fish in troubled waters,” Stalin said in a statement.

“But the DMK will not hesitate to bring down the Edappadi K. Palaniswami government which has pushed the state to backwardness. Let the Chief Minister not daydream about threatening the DMK, which is involved in bringing down the government democratically,” the DMK Working President said.

In the statement, Stalin tore into the Chief Minister and the AIADMK government of “pledging” the state to the Uni-on Government. He also sought to know why the government was “scared” of the Centre.

“Edappadi Palaniswami distributed Rs 89 crore to the people of R.K. Nagar during the elections and has protected a minister who has been accused of allowing gutka sale in Tamil Nadu,” Stalin said.
