DMK’s Lok Sabha MP S.R. Parthiban on Friday kicked up a row claiming he was not being invited to official functions in his constituency. Sharing his bitterness in a couple of tweets, Mr. Parthiban curtly said, “Everyone knows I am a fighter. I wish to remind the concerned about this.”
Alleging that he was being continually “boycotted” in functions organised by the Salem Municipal Corporation, he said this was tantamount to boycotting the “20 lakh electors, who voted for me”. Singling out the Salem Corporation Commissioner T. Christuraj, he accused the official of treating him as if he was an MP representing an Opposition party. Pointing out that six Assembly constituencies would fall within his Lok Sabha seat, Mr. Parthiban, said, “It is illegal to prevent [me] from doing people’s work.”
