Addressing a party executive meeting on Saturday (Aug 22), Stalin claimed that CM Vijay was only focused on changing names of schemes previously introduced during the DMK's tenure.
DMK president MK Stalin on Saturday mocked Tamil Nadu Chief Minister C Joseph Vijay over his conduct in the State Assembly. He accused Vijay, previously an actor, of treating the House like a movie set and focusing on delivering punch dialogues.
Addressing a party executive meeting on Saturday (Aug 22), Stalin claimed that CM Vijay was only focused on changing names of schemes previously introduced during the DMK's tenure.
"The present Chief Minister is busy changing the names of all the schemes we introduced. He is treating the Legislative Assembly like a cinema set and delivering punch dialogues," said Stalin.
He then praised his party saying, “As far as we are concerned, whether we win or lose, we are people who remain deeply connected with the day-to-day lives of the people.”
The opposition DMK has also questioned Chief Minister Vijay's alleged change in stance on the crucial political and constitutional issue of Delimitation.
On Friday, DMK MP Dayanidhi Maran pointed out that the Vijay Government had recently passed an Assembly resolution opposing Delimitation and demanded a freeze on the existing 543 Lok Sabha seats.
He also questioned why the Vijay Government had gone from "No Delimitation" to "no state should suffer a reduction in its percentage of Parliamentary representation".
DMK says this is a U-turn by Vijay government and questioned why Vijay had changed his stance after meeting Home Minister Amit Shah, and whether Vijay had gotten afraid or whether he had switched from being an alliance partner of the Congress to joining hands with the BJP.
As the debate on Delimitation rages on in Tamil Nadu, the DMK maintains that it would oppose any legislation that would affect Tamil Nadu's interests and representation, but it would back Delimitation if Tamil Nadu's representation remained at the existing 7.18%.
