If CM Stalin had 'full powers', Tirunelveli campaigning would not have happened: TVK chief Vijay
Tirunelveli (Tamil Nadu) (PTI): TVK chief Vijay launched a scathing attack on the ruling DMK during a campaign rally in Tirunelveli, alleging that if Chief Minister M K Stalin had "full powers", the event would not have happened.
"The CM would have put some kind of obstacle and prevented us from coming. But now, this is a "caretaker government," as it is called, and he's a CM without authority," Vijay said.
Dubbing the DMK-led bloc a "cash-box alliance", the actor-turned-politician alleged it was formed using "looted" money. He claimed the constituent parties lack internal unity, stating that "people in the alliance won't even cast vote for each other".
Taking a swipe at the grand old party, Vijay alleged that the DMK had "pocketed" the Tamil Nadu Congress by "giving crores". However, he asserted that the "real Congress" stands on the TVK's side.
Characterising his party's deep connection with its cadres, Vijay remarked, "This might be just an election for others, but for those with TVK, this is an emotion."
