DMK’s Election Gambit: Udhayanidhi Stalin criticises PM’s pandemic response, praises father’s courage

Udhayanidhi Stalin, grandson of DMK leader Karunanidhi and Youth Welfare and Sports Minister, faces criticism for allegedly distorting facts in praising his father, MK Stalin, for COVID-19 management

Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) is known for making a bundle of white lies and claiming credit for the good works of others, which is in their DNA. Now, DMK leader and Youth Welfare and Sports Minister Karunanidhi’s grandson has been proving he is no different from his forefathers in making lies, false promises, and sticker pasting of others’ works and projects.

While speaking at a meeting to introduce the candidate Satchithanandam, Marxist Communist Party (CPM), a candidate in the I.N.D.I Alliance led by the DMK in the Dindigul parliamentary constituency, Udhayanidhi Stalin claimed during the COVID-19 pandemic by making a comparison between the functioning and styles of Prime Minister Modi and the Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu (his father) MK Stalin emphasising the latter’s focus on vaccination and direct engagement with affected individuals. He praised his father’s courage and highlighted the resilience of the people of Tamil Nadu in navigating the pandemic. But the fact is in total contrast.

Udhayanidhi Stalin said, “We came to power in 2021 and you know what the situation was. COVID pandemic second wave, do you remember? Corona… What did Narendra Modi Union Prime Minister do then? What did he say? He told everyone to go into the house and hide, lock the house, one day suddenly he asked everyone to come out, keep a candle, keep a plate in hand, make a sound and the Covid will run away. Didn’t he say that? Some of us even followed what he said. Don’t forget that. But what did our leader do, he said that vaccine was the only medicine to eradicate Covid, that awareness was the only medicine, and took the vaccine himself, the only chief minister in India who went to the Covid ward in Coimbatore, wearing the Covid PPE kit – only our Tamil Nadu Chief Minister. Moreover, it was our people of Tamil Nadu who guided India that vaccination is the only way to remedy for Covid.”

This joker was spreading fear and doubts about the Covid vaccine then but now his joker son is saying that his father joker brought the vaccine to the people. pic.twitter.com/Y1TtxaDryu

MK Stalin was seen fear-mongering concerning the COVID-19 vaccine. However, Udhayanidhi now praises his father, MK Stalin, for his “efforts” in distributing the vaccine to the public. Let us examine Stalin’s speech from the past. While speaking in the state assembly, the then LOP Stalin, in February 2021, just around the time the vaccines were being rolled out to citizens, raised numerous questions about COVID’s origin and treatment. In one of the ‘gram sabha meet’ organized during his election campaign in Maduravoyal, Chennai, he said, “There is news coming about vaccines. We don’t know if it is 100 per cent success. It will be known only later. The Prime Minister has not taken it (vaccine). The Chief Minister (Edappadi K. Palaniswami) has not taken it. Some doctors are taking it. A few others are taking it. Because, it is just like they are testing (on doctors and other people).”

The father-son duo came in for their deceptive storyline in their election campaign, aiming to manipulate the underprivileged for political advantage.

Stalin do photo shoots to project his efforts in containing the COVID-19 second wave. Netizens rebuked in social media with proof.

This time, voters are aware of DMK and its designs. They know how it cheated them with over 500 promises that have yet to be fulfilled. During the flood last November, the ruling government’s lies and rescue efforts made people think twice about their follies in voting for DMK and strongly vented their displeasure.
