Horse trading at horse speed: DMK chief Stalin on AIADMK MLAs joining TVK
Allegations of horse trading and misuse of social media for political gain raise concerns.
DMK president M.K. Stalin criticized the resignation of three AIADMK MLAs and their subsequent meeting with Minister Aadhav Arjuna at the Secretariat to join the Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK), calling it "horse trading." R.S. Bharathi, DMK organization secretary, accused the TVK of using social media for false propaganda regarding a rape and murder case in Sulur, Coimbatore. Anbumani Ramadoss, PMK president, questioned the motives behind the resignations, suggesting they were driven by power-seeking rather than genuine political concerns. Former VCK MLA S.S. Balaji deemed the actions unethical and a threat to the TVK's claim of clean politics.
