A meeting of district secretaries, legislators and lawmakers was held on May 24 under the leadership of DMK leader MK Stalin.
Speaking at the meeting, the Chennai Central MP Dayanidhi Maran is said to have mentioned that the DMK’s IT Wing’s performance was inadequate and that the AIADMK and BJP were ahead of the DMK’s IT team. With regards to this, the DMK’s IT Wing Head PTR Palanivel Thiagarajan is said to have issued a statement to the DMK IT Wing members stating Dayanidhi’s Maran’s comment and Stalin interfering to appreciate the efforts of the IT team.
The statement is said to have mentioned “It is surprising that Dayanidhi Maran, who has a long experience as a Union Minister, does not realize the fundamental difference between being a ruling party which has access to power and influence, including the police, and being an opposition party.”
The DMK MP’s comment and the following response by the DMK IT Wing head has brought the fight out in the open and has led to the raise of eyebrows, posing yet another challenge to Stalin.
