BJP’s ANS Prasad Criticizes DMK Over Udhayanidhi Stalin’s Promotion
BJP spokesperson ANS Prasad has criticized the ruling DMK party in Tamil Nadu, accusing them of prioritizing family interests over public welfare. This follows the promotion of Chief Minister MK Stalin’s son, Udhayanidhi Stalin, to the position of Deputy Chief Minister.
Prasad stated, “The DMK’s 75-year history has been marked by betrayal of Tamil Nadu’s interests, prioritizing family interests over public welfare. Despite being part of the alliance, DMK has denied its partners a share in power and instead appointed Udhayanidhi Stalin as Deputy Chief Minister.”
He also accused CM Stalin of using diversionary tactics by focusing on the BJP’s performance in the general elections. “Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Stalin’s statement that the BJP should be conscious of their 240 seats is a diversionary tactic to shift focus from his own party’s controversies,” Prasad said.
Prasad further criticized the recent cabinet reshuffle, which saw the re-induction of Senthil Balaji, who was acquitted in a corruption case. He questioned the DMK’s commitment to good governance and accountability, claiming that the party’s leaders have amassed wealth through corruption.
He warned that the people of Tamil Nadu would respond to the DMK’s corruption and misgovernance in the 2026 assembly elections. “It’s time for Stalin to take responsibility for his government’s actions and deliver on his promises to the people of Tamil Nadu, rather than resorting to empty rhetoric and blame-shifting,” Prasad added.
DMK leader and State Minister Udhayanidhi Stalin was elevated to the position of the Deputy Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu on Saturday. The announcement comes as part of a major cabinet reshuffle in the state government, which also saw Senthil Balaji being re-inducted into the Tamil Nadu cabinet.
