Tamil Nadu BJP president K. Annamalai has intensified his criticism of the ruling DMK party, targeting the rise of Udhayanidhi Stalin, the son of Chief Minister M.K. Stalin, to the position of Deputy Chief Minister.
In a post on the social media platform ‘X’, Annamalai suggested that the DMK’s leadership is favoring its own family and inner circle while neglecting the rest of the state’s population.
Annamalai wrote, “The Sun shines for the privileged few & an eclipse for the rest of the state for the last 40 months.” This statement is a reference to the DMK’s symbol of the rising sun and the party’s slogan “Vidiyal” (meaning a new dawn), which was a key part of their 2021 election campaign. Annamalai implied that this “new dawn” has only benefited a select group within the DMK, particularly its leaders and their families.
He also shared a meme that highlighted alleged nepotism within the DMK, featuring Udhayanidhi Stalin and other prominent leaders from political families. Annamalai’s remarks reflect the BJP’s ongoing critique of the DMK, accusing it of dynastic politics and failing to deliver on promises made to the people of Tamil Nadu.
