DMK GC resolutions are to hide its failure: Murugan

Chennai: Union minister of state for parliamentary affairs L Murugan said the DMK had passed resolutions attacking the BJP during the party's general council meeting in Madurai in a bid to hide its failures.

In a statement on Monday, Murugan said the Dravidian major was adopting diversionary tactics by condemning the BJP govt at the Centre.

"CM M K Stalin seems to believe that if they pass resolutions condemning the BJP govt at the Centre, the public will forget about the corruption and failures of his own regime," Murugan said.

During the general council meeting on Sunday, the DMK had passed multiple resolutions criticising the BJP from bringing the Waqf Act to withholding of funds and projects to TN. Murugan alleged there was widespread corruption in DMK govt which Stalin wants to hide.

"The legacy of systematic corruption evolved under the DMK regime has evolved into brazen looting," he alleged adding the real aim of the general council meeting was to reaffirm that his son and deputy CM Udhayanidhi Stalin was the heir apparent and party cadres must blindly follow him.

Meanwhile, BJP Coimbatore South MLA Vanathi Srinivasan criticised Stalin for his remarks that ‘No matter which Shah visits Tamil Nadu, they cannot rule us,' made at the general council meeting.

"If the DMK thinks TN is behind them, why is the CM always worrying about the AIADMK-BJP alliance," she asked.
