Annamalai Accuses DMK of Dynastic Politics and Lawlessness in Dindigul Campaign

Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader K. Annamalai launched a sharp critique against the ruling Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) regime during an election campaign rally in Oddanchathiram, Dindigul district. Annamalai alleged that the state has witnessed unprecedented heinous crimes under the current DMK government, claiming that law and order have deteriorated significantly compared to the previous AIADMK administration led by Jayalalithaa. He asserted that such incidents would have been met with strict disciplinary action against police officials and perpetrators under the former regime. Specifically targeting the concept of dynastic politics, Annamalai criticized senior DMK leader I. Periyasamy and his son, I.P. Senthilkumar, for contesting elections in the Athoor and Dindigul constituencies respectively. He also mocked Chief Minister M.K. Stalin, describing him as repetitive and ineffective in his political rhetoric regarding the Central government. Annamalai urged the electorate in Dindigul to support National Democratic Alliance (NDA) candidates, promising improvements in critical sectors such as water management, agriculture, and employment opportunities, while aiming to liberate the district from what he termed the clutches of familial political dominance.
