Dynastic politics is the leitmotif as political sparring begins ahead of the Tamil Nadu assembly election nears. Union home minister Amit Shah fired the first salvo at the DMK, but M K Stalin countered with a list of the BJP’s political families.
When Stalin’s son Udhayanidhi started his poll campaign, chief minister Edappadi K Palaniswami again brought up the topic of dynastic politics. “If members of a family get power and position in a party and government, family interest will get prioritised and public welfare will take a backseat. We, the AIADMK, prioritise welfare schemes for the people,” said AIADMK Villupuram district secretary and minister C Ve Shanmugam. But the AIADMK’s party coordinator and deputy CM O Panneerselvam is also accused of promoting his son P Ravindhranath Kumar, who contested and won the Lok Sabha elections from their home turf of Theni.
