Congress leader Manickam Tagore praises Chief Minister Vijay for money-free politics

Statement From Manickam Tagore

Congress leader Manickam Tagore stated in Chennai that DMK is losing women's support due to Udhayanidhi Stalin's speech. He criticized DMK and left parties for competing to secure third place in the upcoming polls. He remarked that Udhayanidhi's continued remarks are ruining the women support built by former Chief Minister M.K. Stalin. He also questioned if campaign events by others are viewed as dramas while their own are seen as campaigns.

Praise For Vijay

Tagore praised Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam leader and Chief Minister Vijay for introducing a new honest political approach without distributing money for votes, noting it is happening for the first time 25 years after the Gummidipoondi election. He said people are rejecting money power and accepting Vijay's clean administration.
