In a recent press conference, Tamil Nadu BJP Chief K. Annamalai launched a scathing attack on the DMK, labeling them as a “drama agency” with a historical penchant for delaying Pongal money announcements.
Annamalai highlighted the pattern that has persisted from the era of the late DMK patriarch Karunanidhi to the present, emphasizing the party’s consistency in keeping the people of Tamil Nadu waiting for Pongal funds.
According to Annamalai, the DMK’s modus operandi involves Udhayanidhi Stalin initially announcing discussions about providing Pongal money. Subsequently, a minister would reportedly endorse the claim by asserting, “DMK government cares for women, so they will definitely give Pongal money.” The Tamil Nadu BJP President painted a picture of a systematic approach to creating anticipation among the public.
Annamalai predicted that Tamil Nadu residents would find themselves standing in ration queues for up to six hours to receive their Pongal money. He urged the people of the state to shift their focus from the uncertainty of whether they would receive Pongal money to questioning the amount they would receive.
Drawing attention to DMK leader Stalin’s previous stance when he was in the opposition, Annamalai asserted that the primary concern should be the amount of Pongal money distributed. He recalled that during that time, Stalin advocated for a sum of ₹5000, and Annamalai encouraged the public to hold the government accountable to this standard.
