AIADMK general secretary Edappadi K Palaniswami on Wednesday slammed Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M K ꦕStalin for assuming the role of a 'judge' and referring to his party leaders as if they were '🉐convicts' while the cases were yet to be even heard.
Palaniswami said Stalin's෴ recent letter to President Droupadi Murmu against state Governor R N Ravi spewed venom against his party leaders while the CM made claims ꦫon 'unnecessary delay' by the Raj Bhavan to provide sanction to prosecute AIADMK leaders.
EPS accused Stalin of indulging in crafty politics ♋by directing his 'servile' Directorate of Vigilance and Anti-Corruption (DVAC) to file 'false' cases against AIADMK leaders, M R Vijayabhaskar and K C Veeramani, both former ministers.
"We have faith in judiciary," he said in a statement and underlined the 'foisted' cases have not even come up for hearing in court. While this was the fact, Stalin had dubbed the accused as cဣonvicts in that letter, Palaniswami said.
By doing so, Stalin assumed the role of a 'judge' and described the Opposition leader💛s as though they were convicts.
Tamil Nadu people were angered over the 'surprising' release of some DMK leaders in graft cases filed by the AIADMK-led regime, he 🅷said.
The DVAC has now become a part of the ruling DMK, the AIADMK chief alleged. People would provide their answer to such a ꩲsorry state of affairs in the 2024 Lok Sabha polls.
Reiterating his oft-repeated taunt, he said Stalin was merely a 'doll C♓M' who had no administrative effi💮ciency.
Making allegations --such as rise in crimes and 'availability' of drugs/intoxicants-- against the ཧDMK-led government and accusing the ruling party as 'corrupt,' Palaniswami said the DMK regime has started to 'surrende🍷r' before the Centre.
As a first step, Stalin has written a letter to President Droupadi Murumu who was elected to the top post without the support of the DMK, the AIADMK leader said appasrently mocking the TN ruling p♔arty.
EPS, a former CM asked why the DMK government retained V Senthil Balaji as a Minister without portfolio though he♏ was arrested by the Enforcemen﷽t Directorate and later remanded in judicial custody.
He demanded to know why no independent inquiry has been ordered so far by S🐎talin on a leaked audio-ꦓclip on 'Rs 30,000 crore' in the possession of two influential 'DMK' personalities.
Palaniswami said the graft cases aཧgainst DMK leaders would be reopened when AIADMK assumes power again.
