The AIADMK in Puducherry today alleged that there was a 'political motive' behind the 'haste' shown by Chief Minister V Narayanasamy in making a slew of announcements to honour the late DMK patriarch M Karunanidhi.
Addressing reporters here, the AIAMDK legislature wing leader A Anbalagan said the announcement made with respect to installation of a bronze statue of Karunanidhi here and in Karaikal among others to commemorate the late DMK leader showed that Narayanasamy has a "political motive."
Making it clear that the AIADMK did not object to the decision to have a statue of Karunanidhi installed here, Anbalagan said, "when we demanded that a statue of former Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Jayalalithaa be erected here, Narayanasamy pointed out that there was a ban on erecting statues by Supreme Court."
