Tamil Nadu Chief Minister and DMK supremo M.K. Stalin was on Sunday selected as the President of the DravidaMunnetraKazhagam (DMK) for the second time, as per official reports.
I Periyasamy, Deputy General Secretary, applauded the move and stated that the former would be the CM for multiple terms over the next 20 years.
“This is my challenge, not a mere stage speech. I want MK Stalin to be the Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu for the next 20 years. That’s how much he is doing for people. People are also wishing for that,” said Periyasamy.
He also dismissed the speculations over alliances being formed in the state and said,”After this General Council Meeting, in Parliament election, they are thinking that a huge alliance will be created. Everyone is claiming this or that alliance. If the BJP forms a big alliance, that’s all. I’m challenging that even if you all join together, DMK can contest alone and defeat you all.
DMK Senior Leader and Ex Minister Arcot. Veeraswamy announced his selection on Sunday.
Meanwhile, Durai Murugan has been selected as the General Secretary of DMK for the second time, and T.R. Balu has been selected as the Treasurer of DMK for the second time.
