MK Alagiri addressed his supporters in Madurai on Sunday, where he said, “This meeting was the first step to combat the conspirators and traitors. I turned Madurai, the stronghold of the MGR, into the stronghold of the DMK. When Vaiko left the DMK, not a single person left the party.”
The estranged brother of present DMK chief M.K. Stalin said that his brother had betrayed him and added that he will ensure Stalin never becomes Chief Minister.
“Stalin can never become Chief Minister. I and my supporters will ensure that.” he said.
“They had expelled me because posters welcoming me for the General Committee were put up? Aren’t you sticking posters for yourself? You have been sticking posters for yourself as ‘future CM’. But you have not been able to become CM. You have printed posters as ‘future CM’ to be put up every now and then. It is not at all going to happen”, Alagiri ripped apart Stalin.
Explaining as to why he was going to contest in the Thirumangalam constituency, he said, “Money is not the reason for Thirumangalam’s election victory. It is because of our hard work. Stalin and the Maran brothers asked me to work on the Thirumangalam election. If Thirumangalam fails, then the DMK regime will be out of hand. I am still one of you.”
He added that he will soon make an announcement about his political stance as well as news of forming a new party. He beseeched the audience to support him, no matter what his decision is to be. It is to be noted that there had been speculations of Alagiri forming an alliance with Rajini if he were to start a political party.
