Chief Minister M.K. Vijay has strongly objected to comments attributed to DMK president M.K. Stalin regarding TVK's Dharapuram assembly candidate, characterizing them as inappropriate and in breach of Model Code of Conduct provisions. The remarks in question have drawn criticism from the ruling party as instances of personal attack rather than substantive political discourse.
The Tamil Maanila Congress (Moovendar) Kazhagam has formally petitioned the Election Commission demanding action against Stalin, including the filing of a First Information Report and cancellation of his status as a star campaigner for the DMK. The party has alleged that the comments constitute body-shaming and represent a violation of the electoral conduct guidelines that govern political campaigns across the state.
The development reflects escalating tensions between the DMK and TVK in the run-up to assembly elections. The Election Commission, which oversees electoral conduct and enforcement of the Model Code of Conduct, will review the complaint and determine appropriate action based on its investigation and applicable regulations governing campaign conduct and personal attacks during electoral campaigns.
