Tamil Nadu Minister Anbil Mahesh Poyyamozhi criticized AIADMK general secretary Edappadi K Palaniswami for his personal attacks on Chief Minister MK Stalin during the election campaign, calling them 'unacceptable' and a sign of a 'hunger for power'. Poyyamozhi stated that the opposition should address administrative shortcomings constructively rather than resorting to personal insults. Palaniswami had previously claimed that Stalin would have hidden during crises like COVID-19, igniting a backlash from DMK leaders who described his remarks as vulgar and disgraceful. DMK leaders, including Raja Anbazhagan and Kanimozhi, echoed this sentiment, asserting that Palaniswami's comments were disrespectful and indicative of his political desperation. As Tamil Nadu prepares for elections on April 23, the political atmosphere is charged with these exchanges, highlighting the intense rivalry between the DMK-led Secular Progressive Alliance and the AIADMK-led National Democratic Alliance.
