CHENNAI: It’s a new political culture in Tamil Nadu that’s never been seen before. On Thursday, chief minister M K Stalin convened a meeting of all-party representatives in a bid to take them on board in tackling the Covid-19 pandemic.
The same day, AIADMK MLAs were seated alongside ministers on a podium in Coimbatore during a review meeting to combat the pandemic. With Covid numbers surging in the state, political animosities are being set aside in the battle to contain the spread.
Responding to an appreciative tweet for working out a political consensus to fight the pandemic, Stalin on Friday tweeted, “Covid does not discriminate based on political affiliation and, as public servants, we are morally obliged to stand united in this fight. Urge all parties across the country to work together to defeat the pandemic. #OndrinaivomVaa (Let us come together).” The chief minister has deputed 22 ministers to 14 high-infected districts for Covid work.
