Chennai (Tamil Nadu) [India], January 24 : Tamil Nadu Chief Minister and Chief of Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) MK Stalin on Friday addressed over 3,000 newly joined party members and said that some get frustrated with the party for talking of Dravidian Model so let them get frustrated.
The Tamil Nadu CM was speaking at a mass induction event organised by DMK at Anna Arivalayam in Chennai where around 3,000 members 'joined' DMK.
"If someone asks what is the meaning of the Dravidian Model of Government, for them the answer is this gathering of you all. If we say Dravidian Model few are getting frustrated. Let them get frustrated, we will say 'Dravidian Model' continuously. We won't get angry seeing their frustration," said Stalin.
"I do not want to diminish the prestige of the party platform by mentioning the name of a party that is living off of a disguised drama," he added.
Tamil Nadu Deputy Chief Minister and son of MK Stalin, Udhayanidhi Stalin was also present at the event.
Speaking at the event he said, "In 13 months we have State assembly election. Usually, as election nears people from the ruling party join the opposition party, but today from the opposition you all have joined the ruling party. So, we can say you all know what is the result of the upcoming election. Not only for election but accepting our party ideology, policy and CM's headship you all have joined DMK.
Further speaking at the event Udhayanidhi accused Governor R N Ravi of promoting Saffronisation in state and destroying Tamil identities
"On behalf of Union Government, one has been sent here, that is Governor. Is he people elected? He is an appointed one. What he is doing? He is making efforts to destroy our Tamil Nadu identities one by one. Saffronizing Thiruvalluvar, degrading Tamil Thai Vazhthu, saying Tamil Thai Vazhthu shouldn't be played in Assembly and boycotting Assembly. This is what he is doing."
Udhayanidhi also claimed that the party is going to register a massive victory in the upcoming Erode (East) by-poll.
