Madurai, Mar 25: AIADMK top leader and Chief Minister K Palaniswami on Thursday lashed out at the DMK over ‘dynasty politics’ and alleged even senior leaders of that party have to adjust to a young heir to stick to their positions.
DMK chief MK Stalin had said years ago that no one from his family would venture into politics and his son Udhayanidhi Stalin too had said he shall not foray into politics, Palaniswami said in his campaign for the Assembly polls.
Belying such claims, Stalin has now made his son Udhayanidhi (DMK youth wing secretary) a party candidate from the Chepauk-Triplicane constituency from Chennai, he said.
Seeking votes for AIADMK nominees, including Minister Sellur K Raju from this temple town, Palaniswami said he and others in his party including Raju hailed from ordinary families and earned positions in the party and government out of hard work.
