He stressed that CM's post was meant to serve public and said, “I never saw myself as a chief minister but you (people) are.” Slamming Stalin for his claims to become CM in three months, Palaniswami asserted, "But Stalin is t like that. He says he will become CM in three months. How is that possible? People have to vote, you need a majority. Is a CM post some commodity that is available in a shop? It is a post given by people.”

incumbent CM furr scoffed at Stalin's son and DMK Youth Wing chief, Udhayanaidhi and asked how well is latter qualified to criticise ruling party in state. CM opined that Udhayanaidhi's qualification as a politician simply ends with fact that he is grandson of Karunanidhi and son of Stalin.

“My political experience is his . He is criticising AIMK. Look at irony… party has slipped to such depths that DMK’s anuncements are w t me by Stalin but Udhayanidhi.. it is a family party, a corporate company,” Palaniswami ded.
