Rumblings in DMK Alliance & Vck Put to an End
Chennai: Rumblings in the DMK-led alliance in the State and within the ranks of the Viduthalai Chiruthaigal Katchi, triggered by the repeated controversial utterances of VCK deputy general secretary, Aadhav Arjuna, were silenced on Monday with the VCK top brass cracking the whip on their errant new leader and their president Thol Thirumavalavan hobnobbing with Chief Minister M K Stalin at a book release function in the Secretariat. Thirumavalavan announced the suspension of Aadhav Arjuna for six months from the party ‘in the interest of its welfare’ since the deputy general secretary’s recent activities were proving to be inimical to the VCK by threatening to set a bad example for its functionaries and also bringing down the reputation and credibility of the leadership in the public sphere. Things came to a boil when he openly declared that the DMK rule, which he described as ‘monarchy,’ would be brought down in 2026 and made a few other controversial remarks that left even senior VCK leaders themselves squirming and fuming, prompting top honchos to hold the discussion on Arjuna’s activities that were detrimental to the party’s interest. Since Arjuna made those controversial remarks at a meeting organized by a Tamil magazine group to release a book on B R Ambedkar in the presence of the president of the Tamizhaga Vetri Kazhagam, Vijay, triggering speculations in Tamil social media that went gunho over it, the executive committee of the VCK comprising Thirumavalavan and the two general secretaries decided to take action against him.
