'U-turn in a week': DMK slams Vijay over delimitation stance after Shah meeting

The DMK, led by MK Stalin, has launched a scathing attack on Tamil Nadu Chief Minister C Vijay Joseph, accusing him of making a U-turn on the issue of delimitation. The criticism emerged after Vijay met with Union Home Minister Amit Shah in Tamil Nadu on Thursday. The DMK's IT cell alleged on social media that Vijay, who had previously taken a strong stance against the Centre and Amit Shah on the delimitation issue, had now reversed his position.

The party posted, "Chief Minister Vijay, who took a firm stand against Amit Shah on the issue of delimitation. Chief Minister Vijay, who, in the very same week that a resolution was passed to not increase the current number of 543 MPs, changed his stance." Another post read, "Chief Minister Vijay has done a U-turn in a week on the constituency redrawing issue!

Is this the same person who called Tamil Nadu's supporters of constituency redrawing the 'eight-footers'?" The DMK also hinted at the duplicity in Vijay's "double game" by questioning the reaction of the parties in the alliance. The attack followed Amit Shah's chairing of the 31st meeting of the Southern Zonal Council, attended by representatives from five states and three Union territories in Kovalam, Tamil Nadu.
