AMMK general secretary T.T.V. Dhinakaran on Wednesday said Chief Minister M.K. Stalin’s public expression of anguish about the conduct of functionaries of the ruling party was an indication that the DMK regime’s life might come to an end at any point of time.
Addressing his party’s volunteers at a demonstration here against the recent power tariff hike and later the journalists, Mr. Dhinakaran, who referred to the Chief Minister’s observation at the party’s general council on Sunday that actions of some Ministers and party leaders were giving him “sleepless nights”, asked that if a person, holding the position of leadership, spoke like this, how he would provide development schemes. How could it be “proper” for him to express his inability to rein in his party leaders?
“Why is it that he [Mr Stalin] does not have the boldness that Amma [Jayalalithaa] had displayed? As Chief Minister, she would not hesitate to take action against Ministers, MLAs and all those in positions of power for the good of the people.”
