Tamil Nadu deputy chief minister O Panneerselvam Tuesday hit out at DMK president M K Stalin for his alleged remarks that the AIADMK would disappear after the Lok Sabha polls, saying the ruling party was in the safe hands of its workers.
"AIADMK is in the safe hands of 1.5 crore workers, who stood behind former chief minister Jayalalithaa who was general secretary for 27 years, and Stalin cannot destabilise the party...
Even his (Stalin) father and former chief minister M Karunanidhi had tried but miserably failed...," Panneerselvam said while campaigning for BJP candidate C P Radhakrishnan in the city.
He alleged that the DMK had adopted the culture of violence during its rule and claimed that it continued in the same manner.
Jayalalithaa had provided welfare schemes taking into account the need of the people in all sectors, whereas the DMK, in the company of the Congress for 10 years at the Centre, was not able to give any scheme for Tamil Nadu, he claimed.
