This raises the question from the common man to the political elite as to whether the DMK, the main opposition party, is slowly pushing its bipartisan politics of DMK vs BJP in Tamil Nadu.
Annamalai has been raging furiously against the DMK, to the extent that it is doubtful whether AIADMK leaders OBS and EPS have been commanded by the Delhi BJP to love Annamalai and take care of everything you say. In contrast to him, the dual leadership of the OBS and EPS have been issuing nominal protests and statements of protest against the DMK government over popular issues.
Amid widespread speculation that the AIADMK is going into silent mode in Tamil Nadu, Ponnaiyan, the party’s former minister and organization secretary, has gone viral against the BJP.
He was addressing a meeting of party executives at the AIADMK headquarters in Raipet, Chennai yesterday.
He added, ‘Although the BJP is the AIADMK’s ally, its growth in Tamil Nadu is not in the best interests of the AIADMK, Dravidian policies and Tamil Nadu. The BJP continues to work against the rights of Tamil Nadu. Tamil Nadu BJP is playing a double role in the Cauvery river-Mulla Periyar issue. The BJP has betrayed Tamil Nadu in the NEET affair.
While AIADMK key executives like EPS, OPS and former ministers Jayakumar and CV Shanmugam have been reading the BJP’s case, we have inquired in AIADMK circles as to why Ponnaiyan has suddenly erupted against the BJP.
‘Ponnayan’s comments on the BJP are noteworthy. But he says the Cauvery River-Mullaperiyar issue, the NEET exemption issue have all been going on for years.
Be that as it may, he may also regret not getting that seat if he is not the main one in the AIADMK Rajya Sabha MP seat race to put these issues abruptly now and give Ponnaiyan voice against the BJP. Because of that he may have given voice against the BJP.
What proximity does the BJP have? KS Alagiri show!
In this way, the EPS expressed its dissatisfaction with the party leadership and through it, the BJP’s activities to destroy the AIADMK and grow in Tamil Nadu. OBS handcuffs are having fun; Without telling the AIADMK volunteers that people like me have to speak out against the BJP, he may also try to divert them against the EPS and the OBS.
Beyond this, the EPS, which is soft on the BJP, is less likely to form a new team of Ponnaiyan under their leadership against the OBS. The reason is that while all party executives are on the EPS-OPS side to the extent that Sasikala himself cannot come in the AIADMK, Ponnayan in the AIADMK cannot form a team alone, blaming the BJP. He does not have that much influence within the party, ‘said an informed AIADMK source.
