The political landscape of Tamil Nadu witnessed a heated exchange between the ruling DMK and actor-turned-politician Vijay. Vijay, who leads the Tamilaga Vetri Kazhagam, had leveled accusations against the DMK government, claiming that the law and order situation was neglected for the benefit of a select few and the DMK’s election manifesto was filled with lies to secure power. He also voiced his party's opposition to the 'One Nation, One Election' proposal and the NEET exam.
Chief Minister MK Stalin, responding to these accusations, dismissed them as baseless. In a public address at an event in Chennai, he highlighted the DMK's record, asserting that most of its election promises had been fulfilled. Stalin emphasized the success of the Dravidian model of governance, citing the state's strong performance in various growth-related indicators released by the Union Government. He dismissed Vijay's criticisms as attempts to undermine the DMK's success and reiterated the party's commitment to working for the welfare of the people.
Stalin's response, drawing inspiration from the words of Anna, the founder of the DMK, encapsulated the party's stance on criticism. “Long live critics,” he declared, emphasizing that the DMK’s priority is to serve the people and it would not be swayed by unnecessary responses to opposition. This statement underlined the party's confidence in its performance and its commitment to its agenda, despite facing criticism from Vijay and his newly formed party.
The exchange between Stalin and Vijay highlights the ongoing political tension in Tamil Nadu. Vijay's entry into politics has injected a new element into the state's political landscape. With the next election approaching, the rivalry between the DMK and Vijay's party is expected to intensify, making the political atmosphere in Tamil Nadu even more dynamic and unpredictable.
