Chennai, June 1 (UNI) Upping his ante against the BJP-led Government at the Centre, Tamil Nadu Chief Minister and DMK President M K Stalin on Sunday reiterated his assertion that not even Amit Shah (Union Home Minister), no Shah can rule here and Tamil Nadu is always out of Delhi's control.
In his marathon address at the DMK General Council meeting in Madurai, he said the same time next year, the ruling DMK has retained power and formed the government for the seventh time, should be the headlines.
Taking a dig at the AIADMK, he said no 'comical alliance' were not able able to defeat the DMK over the past elections. And they could never win hereafter.
It is was not a routine GC meeting...it has been convened to devise the strategy to install DMK in power for a record seventh time.
"The headlines next year during the same day must be the DMK formed the government for seventh time. The DMK-front has secured a historic victory and the Dravidian Model governance is continuing for a second successive term", he added.
Exhorting the DMK cadres to work hard to ensure party's victory in the crucial 2026 Assembly polls
by strengthening micro-management system at booth levels and taking the welfare measures of the DMK's Dravidian Model Governance to the people, Mr Stalin appealed to them to work in close coordination with the alliance parties.
"Even if there are some differences, you should forget them and work in close coordination...Only then our Victory march will continue", he added.
Stating that Leader of the Opposition and AIADMK General Secretary Edappadi K Palaniswami
had dreamt of creating a wedge in the DMK-led front and floated several theories, Mr Stalin said
by announcing severing of its ties with the BJP he had thought that the DMK alliance will break.
But their acting and the idea did not fructify. That's why Mr Palaniswami went to Delhi, switched several cars and surrendered before Mr Amit Shah again,resulting in revival of ties.
"When Mr Amit Shah announced the revival of alliance with AIADMK in Chennai, Mr Palaniswami remained a mute spectator...What an act..only he did not prostrate", Mr Stalin said, coming down
heavily both on the BJP and the AIADMK.
Pointing out that only the party which heads the Front (AIADMK IN TN) in a State will announce the alliance, the Chief Minister said on the contrary it was announced by Mr Amit Shah.
"This shows that the AIADMK has come under the complete control of the BJP. The next step of
Mr Palaniswami is to take the entire state of TN to the control of BJP. That's why Mr Amit Shah is making repeated visits to the State', he said.
Strong reiterating his earlier comment, Mr Stalin said 'Even if any Shah comes, they cannot rule
Tamil Nadu...Tamil Nadu is always Delhi's out of control".
He also told the DMK cadres to take this message to the people, inform them what will happen to
the State if the AIADMK-BJP alliance formed the government in the State. They will create communal clashes, instigate caste tensions, divide the people in all forms, will not allow our students to pursue their education, will drown us with regressive policies, scuttle industrial growth, impose Hindi and destroy the TN's identity".
In a veiled attack on actor-politician Vijay's TVK, Mr Stalin said some new people are coming to
cheat the people by stating that they are the alternative. "We should give them a fitting reply (in the elections) to them also", he added.
Directing the Party functionaries to intensify the membership enrollment drive for the elections
during the next two months as decided in the form a Special resolution adopted at the GC meet earlier in the day, he said from the first week of this month he would be meeting the DMK functionaries constituency-wise at the Party headquarters 'Anna Arivalayam' for an one-to-one interaction, while stating that he would also be personally monitoring the membership enrollment drive.
