DMK president M.K. Stalin on Friday reiterated that the AIADMK government will fall after the counting of votes on May 23.
“Chief Minister Edappadi K. Palaswami in his campaign meetings has been accusing me of trying to topple his government. He claims that it will turn out to be a dream. But it will happen. There is no need for anyone to make any effort to topple the government. It will come to an end on its own after the results of Lok Sabha and byelections are out,” Mr. Stalin said while canvassing for his party candidate V. Senthil Balaji at Thadakovil in Aravakurichi constituency on the last day of the campaign on Friday.
Mr. Stalin reiterated that the DMK would not come to power through the backdoor as it believed in democracy. The minority AIADMK government would be thrown out by the power of democracy. The Supreme Court stay on the disqualification proceedings initiated by the Assembly Speaker against three dissident AIADMK MLAs had thwarted the attempts of the ruling party to continue in power. The party might make fresh moves to continue in office. But it would not succeed as the BJP government at the Centre, which had been supporting the AIADMK, would also be thrown out.
