The Hindu  

Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam president Vijay is only echoing the principles of Dravidian parties, and there is nothing new in his party’s ideological stance, BJP Tamil Nadu president K. Annamalai said here on Sunday. The BJP is strong on its own.” Responding to a question on Udhayanidhi Stalin’s elevation as Deputy Chief Minister, Mr. Annamalai said: “The DMK is increasingly becoming dependent on one family. There is no space for talent available outside the family.” While responding to a question on inducting V. Senthilbalaji into the Council of Ministers after he was released on bail in the alleged cash-for-jobs scam, he said: “The DMK and the AAP are the only two parties in India that re-induct into the Cabinet somebody against whom a charge sheet has been filed.” Mr. Annamalai also said the BJP and Seeman’s NTK are travelling in different paths. Our party’s membership in Tamil Nadu has grown nearly eight times in the last few years,” he said.
