CHENNAI: AIADMK general secretary Edappadi K Palaniswami is speaking without political civility, alleged DMK leader and State Minister for Health and Family Welfare Ma Subramanian on Sunday.
Addressing reporters during his outreach in Kannigapuram in Guindy, Subramanian, the DMK's Saidapet candidate, said his campaign was being carried out in line with party directives and focused on direct voter engagement. "We have been meeting people across the constituency since the day of filing nomination and explaining our position, " he said.
The minister used the occasion to criticise the AIADMK leadership, alleging that its senior leaders were resorting to undignified political language instead of addressing substantive issues. He also referred to developments within alliance parties, noting that VCK leader Thol Thirumavalavan had already clarified his decision not to contest and had announced an alternative candidate.
Subramanian briefly touched upon past measures in the Guindy region, but largely focused on countering opposition criticism and reinforcing the DMK's political messaging in the constituency.
He maintained that the party's campaign would continue to prioritise voter outreach and organisational strength, while expressing confidence that the electorate would reject what he termed as negative and uncivil political discourse from the opposition.
