The Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) of actor-turned nets Vijay on Monday dismissed as mere rumour and unfounded speculation of an alliance with the opposition AIADMK and asserted that the party is the prime political force to dethrone the DMK from power in the coming assembly poll.
Responding to the AIADMK leader's allegation that the DMK government is not allocating enough for capital expenditure, Stalin accused him of being a 'habitual liar'.
While all other linguistically reorganised states celebrate November 1 as their foundation day, Tamil Nadu is deeply divided on this with the ruling DMK holding it on July 18, when the state was officially rechristened as Tamil Nadu.
Wielding the axe, EPS in a statement announced the suspension of Dalawai Sundaram from the party for participating in an event organised by the RSS and thereby bringing disrepute to the party.
This drew opposition ire with the AIADMK and the BJP targeting Chief Minister MK Stalin for mismanagement.
There are quite a few spoilers on the Tamil Nadu election scene, who might not win seats but could cut into votes of the two major Dravidian political parties – the AIADMK and the DMK.
The task ahead of Stalin is stupendous. He must make sure that the DMK coalition wins at least 25 to 30 Lok Sabha seats and 12 to 15 Assembly byelection seats. But it is not that easy.
Going by present indications, it is advantage DMK coalition.
Stalin, who was elevated to the post of president of DMK in August 2018 following the death of his father M Karunanidhi, is in his usual style interacting with the people during the campaign.
Not trusting the police to safeguard their privacy and dignity, two sisters aged 20 and 18 accompanied by their father have approached the Coimbatore district collector seeking a licence to possess a pistol for personal protection.
