In the Tamil Nadu election fray, AIADMK leader Edappadi K Palaniswami criticizes DMK's M K Stalin for perpetuating family rule, claiming Stalin's political rise is due to his lineage. Palaniswami urged voters to end family dominance in the state in the upcoming election, emphasizing democratic values.

In the heated contest for the Tamil Nadu Assembly, AIADMK general secretary Edappadi K Palaniswami targeted Chief Minister M K Stalin, accusing him of relying on family connections for his political standing.

During campaign rallies, Palaniswami lambasted Stalin for perpetuating family rule and questioned the justification for Stalin's prominence, attributing it to his birth into the family of the late Chief Minister M Karunanidhi.

Palaniswami urged state voters to end family dominance, challenging the DMK president to focus on substantial issues rather than deflecting attention by invoking national politics in the assembly campaign discussions.
