DMK not for toppling Vijay govt, Stalin’s remark misrepresented : Former DMK Minister

Chennai, June 9 (UNI) Speaking in different voices, the prinicpal opposition DMK on Tuesday denied that it was for toppling the Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) government clarifying that party president and former Chief Minister MK Stalin’s remarks on the longevity of the Vijay Ministry had been misrepresented.
A day after Stalin, raising doubts as to whether the government would last not six months but three months, evoking sharp criticism from the DMK’s former allies, who are now with the TVK, the DMK has chosen to come out with a clarification.
In a statement released to the media, former minister and senior DMK leader Thangam Thennarasu said, “What Stalin said has been misrepresented as though he had predicted that the government would not last even for three months and would fall. What he had said was that the government’s functioning appeared as though it would last not six months but three months.”
