Once again, Tamil Nadu BJP president K Annamalai delivered a scathing attack on the ruling DMK government, mainly targeting DMK scion, Deputy Chief Minister Udhayanidhi Stalin, and Health Minister Ma Subramanian. He accused them of standing with Anna University on-campus sexual harassment case accused DMK functionary Gnanasekaran, posing for pictures, but Udhayanidhi Stalin and Subramanian failed to clarify the situation publicly. Annamalai condemned them for retreating into silence and questioned Udhayanidhi Stalin’s actions as a syndicate member of the university. He further demanded that if Stalin had no resolve to address the issue, he should resign.
Speaking to reporters in Chennai, Annamalai criticized the DMK government for the rising crimes against women and children since it came to power. He pointed out that the Child Protection Commission in the state had become ineffective, raising concerns about how crimes against children could be monitored.
Annamalai also highlighted that the police were refusing to register First Information Reports (FIRs), with crimes once confined to villages now spreading to the city. He condemned this trend, adding that the Tamil Nadu BJP’s women wing would protest in Madurai on 3 January 2024. Despite the Madurai police denying permission, he confirmed that the rally would proceed as planned.
Annamalai accused the DMK government of neglecting its duties, citing an increase in “lamenting on financial matters” under their rule. He criticized DMK Education Anbil Mahesh for participating in a private school association program where a school association president announced plans to adopt 500 government schools and provide CSR funds. Annamalai questioned why private schools were handling tasks that should be the government’s responsibility, especially when DMK members run many schools. He also reminded the government of its promise to repair 10,000 damaged schools, calling for a white paper on this issue.
On financial matters, Annamalai slammed the government’s borrowing spree, noting that Tamil Nadu took a loan of ₹90,000 crores last year and planned to borrow ₹1 lakh crore this year. He questioned the state’s administration if it couldn’t afford to distribute Pongal gifts despite such heavy borrowing.
Responding to Vaiko’s support for the DMK, Annamalai said that Vaiko had criticized the DMK for the same reasons, but supporting it now. He vowed that the DMK government would be overthrown in 2026, with Vaiko witnessing it firsthand.
Annamalai also expressed frustration over the DMK’s lack of understanding, stating that those who needed to realize the situation would only do so after the 2026 election results. He reaffirmed that the DMK government would be removed in 2026, with no turning back.
Taking a dig at DMK scion Udhayanidhi Stalin, Annamalai said, “Udhayanidhi Stalin was a syndicate member at Anna University before becoming a minister. Then release the minutes of the meetings when you were a Anna University syndicate member. Tell the public, what has Udhayanidhi Stalin did for the Anna University syndicate after becoming an MLA? You boast about being the next Chief Minister, right? Till today, there is a MLA as a member from the DMK. Is Paranthaman a syndicate member there now? Today, after Udhayanidhi Stalin, the DMK MLA is a syndicate member. What is this MLA doing? How many syndicate meetings have taken place? How many issues have been raised in the syndicate meeting? Nothing. Udhaynidhi Stalin was the syndicate member of the Anna University, let’s speak from the time. Today, the Chief Minister is dusts Paranthaman, saying he is no longer in the party. We have provided evidence, such as photographs, in magazines, in the platinum jubilee (Pavala Vizha) event, ministers with him. Now, when there is an issue, everyone escapes. Udhayanidhi Stalin is not meeting the press. If you see him, he know what the first thing you ask him. They escape. What do they think? That if they avoid the press for three months, people will forget, and there will arise a new issue we shall jump to that? If a Deputy Chief Minister cannot face the press and clarify their stance on an issue, it shows he lacks courage. If you don’t have the courage, why should you be Deputy Chief Minister? Resign and go. A Deputy Chief Minister should be able to face the press.”He then questioned, “Why does Udhayanidhi Stalin run away seeing the press? Why is he refusing to meet the press?”
Criticizing DMK Health Minister Ma Subramanian, Annamalai said, “Ma Subramanian will run a race in the morning, now if he sees the press, he runs away in the same speed because you’ll ask him, ‘Gnanasekaran’s picture in the background while you’re eating?’ Ma Su runs faster from the press than he does in a race!”

துணைமுதல்வர் உதயநிதி ஸ்டாலின் பத்திரிக்கையாளரை கண்டு ஓடி ஒளிகிறார்.
