“We will never ever align with the fascist BJP unlike the DMK family which is hand in glove with the saffron party while putting up a public posturing of opposing it. They have an underground dealing with the BJP. Beware of this, people should think before exercising their franchise. For, voting for the DMK is voting forthe BJP” he said addressing arally at Namakkal town, 368 km south west of Chennai.

Resuming his public outreach, he did not spare the principal opposition AIADMK either. “Forgetting late Jayalalithaa’s words and straying away from her path, the AIADMK has formed an incompatible tie-up with the BJP and the alliance does not have the trust of the people. We won't belike them,” he said andasked, “What good the BJP had done to Tamil Nadu? Have they abolished NEET? Have they released the funds withheld for Tamil Nadu’s education sector?”

“I am not raising these questions but the true supporters and cadre of AIADMK founder MGR (matinee icon and late Chief Minister MG Ramachandran),” he added to lure the AIADMK support base.
