Chief Minister M.K. Stalin on Sunday said at Kangeyam in Tiruppur district that the BJP and the AIADMK were feigning a farcical strain in their political ties.
“The BJP and the AIADMK are indulging in a farce by projecting semblance of a clash since they will otherwise be seen as putting up with corruption and communalism respectively,” Mr. Stalin said, adding that AIADMK general secretary Edappadi K. Palaniswami’s recent one-on-one meeting with Union Home Minister Amit Shah was to plead for protection in view of the Supreme Court’s impending hearing in a corruption case against him [Mr. Palaniswami].
Recently, the AIADMK had declared that the BJP was no longer its ally in the State following a war of words with the national party’s State unit president, K. Annamalai, over his comments on Dravidian stalwart C.N. Annadurai.
