The AIADMK government is adamantly refusing to conduct the local body polls, fearing that it will face its worst-ever defeat due to its poor performance and corrupt administration, DMK president M.K. Stalin has said. Mr. Stalin appealed to the voters to teach the Edappadi K. Palaniswami-led AIADMK government in Tamil Nadu and its electoral ally, the BJP, which leads the government at the Centre, a “fitting lesson”. Though the BJP-led Centre was pushing ‘destructive’ projects in Tamil Nadu despite intense resistance from Tamils, the ‘corrupt’ State government had no backbone to resist the ‘anti-Tamil’ projects. The AIADMK government had become the BJP’s slave, he alleged.
