In a video that surfaced on Thursday, the former Commercial Taxes minister stated, 'Yes, go ahead and clap for the defeat too,' adding that the public taught 'us a very good lesson in this Assembly election.'
Minister's Sarcastic Remarks
The former minister, known for his sharp tongue, did not mince words when addressing the party's performance. He criticized the party workers for their overconfidence and lack of ground-level effort, which he believed contributed to the electoral loss. The video clip quickly spread across social media platforms, sparking debates among political analysts and party supporters.
Reactions from Political Circles
Political observers noted that the minister's comments reflect internal dissent within the DMK following the defeat. While some party members have called for introspection, others have dismissed the remarks as individual frustration. The DMK leadership has yet to officially respond to the video, but sources indicate that a review of the election strategy is underway.
