Stalin Alleges CM Vijay 'Shops' AIADMK MLAs

Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) President M.K. Stalin has accused Tamil Nadu Chief Minister C. Joseph Vijay of "shopping" for AIADMK MLAs. Stalin alleged that Vijay first influenced AIADMK MLAs to support his government and subsequently encouraged them to resign and join his Tamilaga Vetri Kazhagam (TVK) party. He characterized Vijay's actions as a 'photocopy' of the BJP's strategies in other states, creating an embarrassing situation for supporting parties. Stalin called for democratic forces to question the MLAs' resignations and the motivations behind their switch. He also criticized the ruling party for undermining democracy and expressed concern over state security issues. The DMK chief suggested Vijay lacks confidence in his own government, necessitating the poaching of MLAs.

This political accusation highlights allegations of undemocratic practices and party poaching in Tamil Nadu politics, raising questions about the stability and integrity of the state government.
