Ajouté : 2026-05-17

[00:00:00]Uh, uh, >> [music] >> Sam, is this, you know, is this just the usual rhetoric or is this a direct threat and a signal from the DMK that things are going to be much rougher now for Chief Minister Vijay?

[00:00:18]Well, as long as the Shiv TVK enjoys the support of the MLAs from DMK alliance, I think the DMK is going to turn the heat on the ruling [music] TVK. Show them every day that they have a majority only because of their support. And then it appears that they're not going to give them any honeymoon time at all. From day one, the daggers are drawn and they're going to target and bring every word, every decision, every policy of TVK [music] and Chief Minister Vijay un- under intense scrutiny to make sure the war will be on from day one. They're going to perhaps try and expose the political inexperience of the TVK. Yeah. Expose every flaw, every failure, every lapse, be it however minor or major it may be.

[00:01:08]And prove that they are much better.

[00:01:11]This particular response comes to Vijay's long statement after the assembly session today, giving a clear statistic statistical information that although the opposition leader had claimed on the floor of the house that a majority of voters in Tamil Nadu have voted against the ruling >> Yes.

[00:01:31]>> TVK.

[00:01:31]Taking into account the collective vote share of the entire opposition, Vijay had compared that to individual vote share, saying that TVK alone accounts for 34.9% while the DMK accounts only for 24.19%.

[00:01:47]>> It's on this basis of this particular statement now Dinithi has responded. I think we can ex- expect this >> [music] >> every day from now on. Okay, no honeymoon for the Vijay government. It's going to be daggers drawn. That's the big signal from the opposition. Sam, I'm going to leave it there.
