AIADMK MLAs boycotting Tamil Nadu assembly as they have nothing to say: Kanimozhi

TUTICORIN: Denying that the DMK government is not giving time to the opposition to raise questions in the assembly, Tuticorin MP, Kanimozhi Karunanidhi said that the AIADMK is ineligible to make such an allegation as they were the ones who denied opportunities to the opposition parties when they were in power for a decade. “If they are leaving because they don’t have anything to say, we can do nothing about it,” she added.
Responding to reporters here on Wednesday, the DMK women’s wing secretary said that the ruling party is listening to the views of the opposition parties before taking a decision. She cited the formation of a committee comprising MLAs from all the political parties to discuss and take decisions to curtail the spread of Covid-19. She said that such a practice existed when Karunanidhi was CM and is continuing during Stalin’s tenure too.
Kanimozhi said that people taught a lesson to the AIADMK be dethroning them from power as they did not fulfil any of their poll promises during the 10 years they were in power. “All the (poll) promises cannot be fulfilled in one day. But they will be fulfilled one after the other in a phased manner right from the day Stalin assumed office as CM,” she said. She added that the opposition is criticising the government on poll promises for the sake of politicising it.
On the Kodanadu estate murder case, she denied that it was political vendetta and added that it wass being probed to ensure that the rightful people get justice. “It is a major murder case with lots of twists and turns that happened when they were in power. The government will not be a mute spectator to it,” she said and added that those who were at fault were struck by fear over the case.
