Stalin sees early election in Tamil Nadu

February 15, 2017 20:35

DMK Working President M K Stalin today claimed a government led by either O Panneerselvam or any AIADMK nominee would not be stable and could lead to elections to the state assembly even before local body polls, due already.

Addressing party workers at a meeting in Coimbatore, he said the present government headed by caretaker Chief Minister Panneerselvam was only an interim arrangement.

The government formed by either Panneerselvam, who has revolted against the party leadership, or the AIADMK would be short lived, he said.

Considering the present political situation, there was a possibility of assembly elections being held in the state even ahead of local body polls, expected in June-July, he said.

DMK has ruled out support to Panneerselvam in case of a floor test in the assembly amid the accusation by Sasikala that it was behind the revolt in the AIADMK.
