DMK President Stalin hits back at HM Amit Shah, calls dynasty politics barb a 'trick'

DMK president M K Stalin on Sunday hit back at Union Home Minister Amit Shah for attacking his party with 2G Spectrum scam allegation and dynasty politics barb, saying it was an amusing and conjuring trick ahead of 2021 assembly elections in Tamil Nadu.

accusations were comical since 'twins' who stood by Shah's side -Chief Minister K Palaniswami and his deputy O Panneerselvam- were 'involved in corruption,' over past about four years, Stalin alleged, referring to Home Minister as "Delhi Chanakya."

 y may do any number of conjuring tricks, but people are clear,  DMK chief said adding a body blow awaited AIADMK and BJP combine in assembly elections due in April-May next year for levelling such charges.

AIADMK on Saturday said its alliance with BJP would continue for assembly elections.He would t rest till DMK returned to power, Stalin said adding he would start his poll campaign in January.

Till such time party won power in Tamil Nadu re was question of respite and he would start his poll campaign in January, Stalin said.

Let us march ahead by outmaeuvring conspiracies of AIADMK and BJP to scuttle our journey towards victory, he said in a reference to accusations against his party.On Saturday, Shah said DMK and its ally Congress had right to talk about corruption since 2G Spectrum allocation scam happened during United Progressive Alliance regime.

Dubbing DMK a dynasty party, he had alleged it did t function based on democratic values but only took forward dynasty politics. It was w turn of DMK to lose elections -2021 Assembly polls- following RJD in Bihar, he said.

Minister also demanded DMK to list out what it had done for Tamil Nadu when it held reins of power.

Party treasurer T R Baalu alleged BJP regime at Centre has only betrayed Tamil Nadu so far by igring Tamil and imposing Hindi, and 'damaging' social harmony.

Listing several projects like Rs 908 crore Nemelli desalination plan, Baalu said se were achievements of his party-led regime.
