Joseph Vijay, “having made Tamil Nadu unsafe for women, children and the elderly”, was resorting to breaking news, roadshows and other publicity tactics to divert public attention from the deteriorating law and order situation. In a social media post, he accused Mr.

Vijay of inducting “corrupt politicians” into the Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) while targeting former DMK Ministers. “His vendetta politics will be defeated in the court of law and in the court of public opinion,” he said. Mr. Stalin said the DMK and its cadres would not be intimidated by raids and arrests, which he claimed were staged to deliver punch dialogues with dramatic modulation for the Tiruchi East byelection.

“It is not just Tamil Nadu; the entire country is ridiculing the TVK government for the deterioration in law and order, rudderless administration and price rise. Do not think that DMK cadres can be silenced. They will expose the misdeeds of the TVK government,” he said. K.N. Nehru cash-for-jobs scam case: Madras High Court clears decks for DVAC probe K.N.
