AIADMK and DMK leaders were discussing their personal issues against each other diverting from the pressing problems of the people, said All India Puratchi Thalaivar Makkal Munnetra Kazhagam, V.K. Sasikala.

Addressing an election rally here on Friday, Ms. Sasikala said that the DMK leader Udhayanidhi Stalin was criticising the AIADMK general secretary Edappadi K. Palaniswami for having fallen at her (Ms. Sasikala) when he was selected as Chief Minister.

What Mr. Udhayanidhi said about Mr. Palaniswami was a fact. That visual was showing in the television channels. Ms. Sasikala said that Mr. Palaniswami was a thankless person who had betrayed her even after giving him the top post.

Ms. Sasikala was quick to add that pressing issues like lack of doctors in the Government Hospital concerning the people should be discussed during the election.

However, the Chief Minister and the former Chief Minister were accusing each other on personal issues, she added.

Ms. Sasikala said that both the DMK and the AIADMK should be defeated. She wondered for where will the resources for the ₹8,000 coupon promised by the DMK and free refrigerator come from when the debts of the State had gone up to ₹10 lakh crore.
