MK Stalin slams Vijay

Chennai: Former CM and DMK President MK Stalin has launched a fresh attack on CM Vijay over the arrest of LoP of the State Assembly Udhayanidhi Stalin. He called Vijay an “inept” and “dummy chief minister.”

MK Stalin further warned CM Vijay that arrogance leads to destruction, accusing the Vijay government of using police action to divert attention from its “failure” to protect the state’s interest on the Cauvery water issue.

The Madras High Court has also ordered the release of Udhayanidhi; the DMK supremo was unsparing in his criticism of Vijay. The LoP was arrested from his Chennai residence earlier in the day over a vulgar remark that was widely interpreted as an allusion to actor Trisha.

MK Stalin said, "An inept dummy Chief Minister can't bring Cauvery water, can't even speak up to stop the Mekedatu dam."
