Responding to a letter written by DMK Treasurer and party chief M Karunanidhi's political heir apparent M K Stalin to Chief Minister O Panneerselvam about the state of affairs in Tamil Nadu, PMK Youth Wing Leader and party Chief Ministerial candidate Anbumani Ramadoss alleged that DMK "started corruption and irregularities and AIADMK has taken it across in a grand manner."
"It is a fact that Tamil Nadu's destruction history cannot be written without DMK," he said.
Interestingly, Ramadoss' letter comes seven months after Karunanidhi and Stalin attended a wedding in Ramadoss' family, setting off speculations of a political realignment.
According to Ramadoss, the follies committed by the DMK included not implementing prohibition and doing nothing to augment the electricity supply, an issue that has been impacting Tamil Nadu for the past few years.
