Chief Minister Edappadi K. Palaniswami on Wednesday said the DMK will never succeed in its efforts to break the ruling party and topple the AIADMK government.
Speaking at a public meeting in Ulundurpet on the occasion of the 47th founding day of the AIADMK, he said the DMK was “indulging in a daydream” by aspiring to form the government in Tamil Nadu.
Mr. Palaniswami said the DMK was functioning like a company and not a political party.
“It is an open secret that the DMK is fomenting atrocities and violence, as recent incidents in the State have demonstrated,” he alleged.
The AIADMK had widened its popularity, and the party, founded by MGR and nurtured by Jayalalithaa, had become “a fortress”, he said.
No force can succeed in dismantling the party, he added.
“We have implemented a number of welfare measures introduced by the late Chief Minister Jayalalithaa and continue to follow in her footsteps,” the CM said.
Although she had endured a number of hardships both inside and outside the Assembly, Jayalalithaa succeeded in entrenching the AIADMK’s rule, he said.
