On Thursday, the last day of the electoral campaign for elections to the urban local bodies, the AIADMK appealed to the electorate to weigh the nine-month rule of the DMK government before casting their votes. If the DMK candidates were elected to the urban local bodies, they charged, they could be feudal lords and would only exhibit a “tyrannical rule”, going by their past record.
“Only if an appropriate bridle is used for the DMK government, they could be kept under control and Tamil Nadu could be made into a peaceful haven,” the AIADMK coordinator, O. Panneerselvam, and co-coordinator Edappadi K. Palaniswami said in a joint statement.
