Chennai, Apr 12 (Reporter) Tamil Nadu Chief Minister and DMK President M K Stalin on Saturday said the AIADMK-BJP alliance is nothing but a corrupt alliance of defeat. In a statement, referring to the revival of electoral pact between AIADMK and the saffron party which was announced by Union Home Minister Amit Shah yesterday, the Chief Minister said the AIADMK-BJP alliance is an alliance doomed to fail. It was the people of Tamil Nadu who handed repeated defeats to this coalition, he said "Now, Union Home Minister Amit Shah has reconstituted the same failed alliance", Mr Stalin. Terming the press conference held by Mr Amit Shah was unworthy of the Constitutional post he holds, the Chief Minister said it might be his personal choice to confirm the alliance between AIADMK and BJP, but he did not disclose on what ideological foundation it was formed. Instead, he merely assured that a “common minimum programme” would be created, he added. AIADMK claims to oppose NEET, the imposition of Hindi, the three-language policy, and the Waqf Act. They also claim to demand that Tamil Nadu’s representation should not be reduced during constituency delimitation, Mr Stalin pointed out and sought to know whether all these are part of the “common minimum programme”? Accusing the Union Home Minister of neither speaking about any of these nor allowed the AIADMK leadership to speak, the Chief Minister said instead, Mr Shah used the press conference solely to criticize the DMK, the DMK government, and me personally--something everyone who watched would have noticed. Asserting that the DMK is a movement that stands to protect state rights, linguistic rights and Tamil culture, Mr STalin said in contrast, the BJP-AIADMK alliance has been formed with a hunger for power and stands against all these ideals. People have not forgotten that AIADMK General Secretary Edappadi Palaniswami, in his thirst for power, mortgaged Tamil Nadu’s dignity and rights to Delhi and brought ruin to the state, he charged. When repeatedly questioned about NEET, the Union Home Minister was unable to provide a proper response. If he believed NEET was right, he should have defended that position clearly. Instead, he tried to deflect by claiming that “opposing NEET is a diversionary tactic", Mr Stalin said and referred to the suicides of more than 20 aspiring medicos in Tamil Nadu and asked whether they were also an act of diversion...////...
