A video has been going viral on social media in which the DMK MP from Salem, S.R. Parthiban can be seen taking to his heels after failing to answer the questions posed by his constituency people.
The DMK MP had visited a village near Omalur town panchayat falling under his constituency. He had stopped by to interact with the people of the village.
During the interaction, one of the villagers asks the DMK MP about the promise of loan waivers made by him during the 2019 general elections. Apparently, the DMK MP had promised to waive off farm loans, gold loans, education loans, etc.
ஓமலூர் சேலம் திமுக MP வறுத்தெடுத்த மக்கள். உங்களை நம்பி தான நகை அடமானம் வச்சோம். இப்ப நடுரோட்ல நிக்கிறோம். ஏன் ஒன்னும் பண்ணலைன்னு கேட்டா நீங்க எல்லாம் அதிமுககாரங்க சொல்றது நியாயமா. மக்கள் கேட்ட கேள்விக்கு பதில் சொல்ல முடியாமல் ஓடும் திமுக MP..

Responding to this, the DMK MP says that they had promised to do it only after forming the government. The DMK MP says “We couldn’t come to power, we lost. Had we clinched the power, the first thing that Thalapathy (referring to DMK chief MK Stalin) would have done is signed on these loan waivers.”
“Just bear for 4 more months. The promise will be fulfilled with your blessings. Thalapathy will come as Tamil Nadu Chief Minister and once he comes he will fulfil all your demands”, the DMK MP can be heard saying.
The villager then responds to DMK MP Parthiban saying “You keep talking depending on these 4 months. What should we do till then?” to which the DMK MP says “We are not in power right? What can we do?”.
Another person shooting the video on his cell phone asks the DMK MP Parthiban whether he promised to deliver his promises only after forming the government or after becoming MP.
“You only said that you would waive off all the loans after becoming MP right? You did not say that the Congress government will do it after coming to power”, the villager grills the DMK MP. To this the DMK MP Parthiban responds pointing fingers at the persons asking questions saying “You are ADMK, you are ADMK, you are ADMK. 3 ADMK members are standing here.” and abruptly leaves the spot.
Irked by the DMK’s comment, the villagers can be seen coming down heavy on the DMK MP for branding those asking questions as ADMK members, while he makes his way to his car without paying heed to the villagers.
“How do you know that I am from ADMK? If people ask questions to you they become ADMK members is it? You have come here to mislead people. You think people here are illiterate fools? You only spoke of waiving of education loans. Have the guts and speak on it now.” , the man recording the video can be heard asking agitatedly.
“You have come here to cheat people right? Now only we have got MNREGA work here and you have come here to spoil that as well. Why have you come here? Talk now. Do you know how many people have pledged their jewels? Who will save them? Can you get it back for us? Why are you not able to talk now?”, the man lambasts while other women workers working in the area also join him in questioning the DMK MP.
This video has now gone viral on social media with many criticizing the DMK MP for leaving his own constituency people in lurch.
