TVK is DMK 2.0 in a refreshed and new package: Tamil Nadu BJP secretary

Tamil Nadu Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) Secretary Vinoj P Selvam has sharply criticized the Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK), labeling it as "DMK 2.0" in a "refreshed and new package." Selvam asserted that both the DMK and TVK parties are complicit in the state's decline.

“

Both these parties, the DMK and the TVK, are hand-in-glove in ruining the state of Tamil Nadu. When people thought they were voting for change, they ended up voting for DMK 2.0 in a very refreshed, new package.

Speaking to ANI, Selvam stated, "Both these parties, the DMK and the TVK, are hand-in-glove in ruining the state of Tamil Nadu. When people thought they were voting for change, they ended up voting for DMK 2.0 in a very refreshed, new package." He further alleged that the law and order situation has deteriorated significantly under the TVK administration, surpassing the conditions during the previous DMK regime.

“

The law and order situation seems to be worse than it was during the DMK's earlier regime. All the allies of the DMK have come together, and they have aligned with the TVK to make sure that there is a government which seems to be very ineffective, not being able to take any positions, nor fight for the stand of Tamil Nadu in very critical issues, like the Mekedatu against the Karnataka Congress government.

Selvam also pointed to the alignment of DMK allies with the TVK, suggesting their collaboration aims to maintain an "ineffective government" in power. He specifically mentioned the Mekedatu water-sharing conflict with Karnataka as an issue where the current government appears unable to effectively represent Tamil Nadu's interests. The BJP secretary accused former Tamil Nadu CM MK Stalin of attempting to control the TVK government, asserting that the parties forming an "anti-Hindu front" are dependent on the DMK.

“

Stalin is trying to probably threaten the TVK government because he has the upper hand, and all these ex-partners and the parties which would otherwise not be able to get a deposit by themselves, who had won at the mercy of the DMK, are now today aligned with the TVK to form a very anti-Hindu front in Tamil Nadu.

Concluding his remarks, Selvam expressed confidence that both the DMK and TVK lack a future in Tamil Nadu. He predicted that the people of the state would eventually seek a "real change" through the BJP forming a government that offers good governance.

And, both the DMK and the TVK have no future as far as Tamil Nadu is concerned.
