Remarking that Duraisamy does not deserve to comment about his leader Stalin, Subramanian said that even a person of least intelligence would wonder why no action was initiated during the 1991-96 AIADMK tenure if it the project was conceived in 1987 by MGR.

Claiming that Duraisamy may be unaware of the fact that his late leader J Jayalalithaa had unknowingly admitted that the Chennai Metro Rail project was envisaged by the DMK regime, the Saidapet MLA cautioned that they would not mind if he attempts to regain his political identity using MGR, but they cannot remain a  mute spectator to him prodding their leader M Karunanidhi.

Elaborating on the friendship between MGR and Karunanidhi, especially during the formative years of the former in cinema, Stalin sought to know why Duraisamy was silent when Jayalalithaa had refused to name the film city after MGR and eventually named it after herself. 

“Is Duraisamy aware of the fact that Karunanidhi had later renamed the film city after his best friend MGR?” Subramanian asked, questioning if Duraisamy had kept quiet on Jayalalithaa not celebrating the MGR anniversary in 2016, fearing that he might be stripped of the Mayor post he had held then.
