Recalling pro-people measures taken by MGR during tenure as chief minister, he said on the other hand DMK had nothing to boast of except its 'record in corruption'.
Addressing the MGR centenary celebration function here, he said people would only remember 'corruption' during the DMK regime and the party can never aspire to win over the people's trust and come back to power again.
Lambasting the DMK, he alleged the party's rule only "benefited their family members and never the poor and downtrodden."
He made announcements on various schemes and works, including several check dams and irrigation facilities and modern equipment for government hospitals in Periyakulam in the district.
