CM accuses Stalin of using intemperate language against Modi

Tamil Nadu Chief Minister K Palaniswami Thursday accused DMK chief M K Stalin of using intemperate language against him, Prime Minister Narendra Modi and other leaders of the AIADMK-led combine to seek votes.

The top AIADMK leader also alleged that DMK men indulged in unruly behaviour and said a leader should seek votes by focusing on his party's achievements during its stint in the government.

Stalin, however, was seeking votes by using intemperate language against the Prime Minister, Chief Minister and leaders of coalition parties wherever he went, Palaniswami alleged.

After citing the objectionable words, Palaniswami said he wondered if anyone could talk in such a fashion.

"Giving respect to the high office one held is our culture though there could be criticisms," he said.

Stalin, however, does not "know our culture and he is undeserving (to be a leader)...there is a limit, he is crossing his limits, if we start giving it back in the same fashion, your ear drum will snap," Palaniswami said at a poll rally here.

Palaniswami alleged though the DMK was in power in both the State and the Centre it did not implement any scheme for the welfare of the people.

Alluding to Stalin, Palaniswami alleged "they paid attention only in the well-being of their family."
