DMK President M K Stalin Tuesday continued to target Deputy Chief Minister O Panneerselvam over conducting a 'yagna' at his office in the Secretariat, saying the AIADMK leader must have performed it to "escape" from a case in the Supreme Court.
Irked over the fresh attack, the ruling AIADMK ridiculed Stalin for raking up the issue, saying it amounted to being "childish."
On Sunday, Stalin had claimed that the 'yagna' (havan) might have been conducted to get the "Chief Minister's post."
Speaking at a Gram Sabha meeting in Karur district Tuesday, Stalin said with the coming Lok Sabha polls, "there are chances that the Assembly elections will also be held along with it."
Responding to Stalin's persistent criticism, the AIADMK wondered what was wrong with someone "praying to God."
