Udhayanidhi targets CM Vijay over law and order in Tamil Nadu
Udhayanidhi listed several poll promises he alleged the TVK government had failed to fulfill, such as financial assistance for women.
Udhayanidhi Stalin, the Leader of the Opposition in the Tamil Nadu Assembly, has criticized the ruling TVK leaders for failing to meet electoral pledges and for a decline in law and order, implicating that their legislators are preoccupied with praising Chief Minister C Joseph Vijay. He alleged that the Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (Tamil Nadu Progressive Alliance) had recruited members from other parties through dubious methods, likening the process to ordering a sofa via a delivery app.
During campaigning for his ally S Suganya in the upcoming bypoll in Dharapuram, scheduled for October 6, Stalin listed numerous unfulfilled promises by the TVK government. These include financial support for women, free cooking gas cylinders, assistance for the unemployed, and a total waiver of agricultural loans for farmers. He also highlighted the deteriorating law and order scenario, citing an increase in criminal activities and concerns over women's safety, pointing to specific incidents that occurred during the incumbent government's tenure.
Stalin further accused the ruling party of prioritizing the glorification of Chief Minister Vijay over addressing pressing governance issues, claiming that many members within the ruling party, especially ministers and legislators, were more focused on praising Vijay than on tackling critical problems. He urged the electorate to back Suganya, the DMK candidate from the Scheduled Caste (SC) reserved Dharapuram constituency, in the forthcoming bypoll.
