‘குதிரை வேக’த்தில் நடக்கும் ‘குதிரை பேரம்’! Scene 1: பெரும்பான்மை இல்லாத நிலையில், தி.மு.க. கூட்டணிக் கட்சித் தலைவர்களிடம் ஆதரவு கேட்பது. ...

M.K. Stalin issued a sharply worded political statement describing a sequence of events he termed 'horse-trading at galloping speed,' alleging that a party lacking a legislative majority sought support from allied party leaders, negotiated votes from a faction of AIADMK members ahead of a confidence vote, and also secured support from an AMMK member. He further alleged that some AIADMK members were made to resign and were inducted into the ruling party at its headquarters. Stalin questioned whether voters had cast their ballots to witness such scenes, and criticised parties that had projected themselves as principled ('pure force') as now standing exposed as a source of 'sorrow.' He also accused Congress of hypocrisy, alleging it had claimed it would only extend support if NDA backing was not sought, yet was now watching the unfolding events from within the cabinet, calling its opposition to the BJP 'fake.' The tweet is a pointed criticism of post-election political manoeuvring in the state.
