TIRUCHY: Both DMK and AIADMK together are conspiring against the Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) and are trying to cripple the party's activities. The enemies may try everything to stop me, but not every Vijay and Viji in all households will allow that to happen in Tamil Nadu. All of them have started an aggressive political campaign, and our enemies would certainly fall. People are with us, claimed the TVK president Vijay in Thanjavur on Wednesday.
Addressing the party functionaries at Ayyasamypatti branch road near Sengipatti in Thanjavur, Vijay said that the election is for the State Assembly, and why has Chief Minister Stalin claimed the election is between Tamil Nadu and Delhi? "Actually, Tamil Nadu is Vijay and Vijay is Tamil Nadu. This is not the election between Tamil Nadu and Delhi but between Tamil Nadu (Vijay) and Stalin sir,” he said.
He blamed the ruling DMK for making false propaganda and creating unrest among the minority people from Tamil Nadu, that they are unsafe and the DMK can alone rescue them, but the fact is that the people trust TVK and they are with the party, and TVK alone can save the people of the state, he said.
Terming the upcoming Assembly polls as just an election for all other political parties, but it is an oceanic emotion to TVK, Vijay said that the whistle (party symbol) should blow heavily in every election booth and fetch the party a grand victory in the election, which would transform the face of Tamil Nadu in terms of development, he said.
He claimed that the TVK is surrounded by enemies, and the prime ones are DMK and the AIADMK. The two parties are conspiring together against TVK, fearing the surge in public support for the party.
“Both the DMK and AIADMK have a secret deal between them to prevent the entry of TVK into Tamil Nadu politics. They are conspiring together not to allow any other political party in the state so that they can do anything as per their wish, and thus the SOP for Vijay’s meeting by the DMK and the hard-hitting criticism by the AIADMK are always against us,” he claimed.
He ridiculed the Chief Minister, who has been proclaiming his second innings and said that he will never repeat. “Even his father (M Karunanidhi) could not repeat it, and so it is certain that TVK will form a government with the support of the people,” he stressed.
Meanwhile, he promised the farmers proper procurement of paddy and safe stocking of it through the DPC, severe action against those who are involved in irregularities and demand bribes from the farmers.
He also promised a waiver of loans to the farmers with the possession of five acre land who had obtained a loan from Cooperative Societies, and a possible waiver of loans to those farmers owning more than five acres. Apart from this, he promised free engineering and medical education to the wards of farmers, one PDS outlet for 500 cards, safety for fishermen and corruption free government.
Vijay also raised doubts about why the state government has been inaugurating several projects at the end of the tenure, while they were announced in the beginning.
“They would go on announcing the projects and inaugurating them during the final stage of the tenure, and put them off. Once TVK formed a government, everything would be transparent, and the announced projects would certainly be completed before the completion of the tenure,” Vijay added.
