MDMK leader Vaiko
Taking a dig at Palaniswami and leader of the opposition Udhayanidhi Stalin for describing Vijay as an inefficient administrator, Vaiko accused the former chief minister of acting at the behest of the Sterlite plant’s owners and being responsible for the police firing that killed 13 people, including a school student.
His remarks came close on the heels of 13 murders being reported across the state in a single day, triggering widespread criticism from opposition leaders as well as some of the ruling party’s allies.
Only MDMK and IUML did not criticise the govt,” Vaiko said. “The minute the sun raises, the leaders of the oppositions and allies start attacking the TVK govt. They cannot have their breakfast without criticising the present administration. Interestingly, one of the alliance parties, which is part of the cabinet in present govt, is also criticising the govt.
CHENNAI: MDMK leader Vaiko on Tuesday hit out at opposition leaders and some of the TVK’s alliance partners, particularly the VCK, for repeatedly criticising chief minister C Joseph Vijay’s govt over the law and order situation and a spate of murders.
