Stalin Slams TVK Over 'Dirty Politics' Amid Trust Vote Win
M.K. Stalin, President of the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK), has accused the newly formed Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) government of engaging in "dirty politics." His comments came after the TVK, led by Chief Minister C. Joseph Vijay, secured a trust vote in the Tamil Nadu assembly with the backing of a splinter faction from the All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (AIADMK). Stalin alleged that TVK attempted to poach AIADMK legislators, betraying the trust of the public and those who supported the government to prevent President's Rule. While the DMK boycotted the trust vote to avoid obstructing the government's formation, Stalin warned that the public is closely observing TVK's actions.
