M K Stalin asks whether AIADMK gave halwa to Theni voters

Stalin said his party MPs would continue to raise the demand for exemption from Neet for Tamil Nadu students.
CHENNAI: DMK president M K Stalin on Saturday commenced campaign for Vellore Lok Sabha election in his usual style of interacting with voters at tea shops and vegetable markets during his customary morning walk.
On Saturday, he also visited some colonies in Anaicut assembly segment in Vellore constituency and campaigned for the party candidate Karthir Anand.
Stalin has chosen to go around the constituency and address street-corner meetings, instead of addressing large public meetings. Speaking at a street-corner meeting, Stalin said, “AIADMK has been charging after the recent elections that DMK gave false promises, cheated voters and lured voters by offering chocolates. If we have won 38 seats (including Puducherry) offering chocolates to voters, did AIADMK give halwa to voters in Theni (won by AIADMK)? We know how the ruling party won that seat”. AIADMK was demeaning voters of Tamil Nadu by levelling such baseless charges, said Stalin.
The DMK president said his party would provide good drinking water to the people of Vellore constituency. “Soon after Anand is elected as MP from the constituency, I promise to work towards providing Cauvery water to the people in the constituency. We will also work to set up a SIPCOT project in Kilvaithinankuppam segment,” said Stalin.
Stalin said his party MPs would continue to raise the demand for exemption from Neet for Tamil Nadu students. “Neet has put rural students at a huge disadvantage. Their dreams of becoming doctors have been shattered,” said Stalin.”
“A study on the margins secured by various parties in the recent polls has shown that only DMK candidates won with huge margins. We are the third biggest party in the Lok Sabha,” said Stalin.

Out of the six assembly segments in Vellore LS constituency, 4 are represented by DMK. The party had won Vellore (P Karthikeyan), Katpadi (S Duraimurugan) and Anaicut (A P Nandakumar) in the 2016 elections and it won Gudiyatham (S Kathavarayan) segment in the byelection held in April.
The April election in Vellore was cancelled due to pressure from the ruling party, said Stalin. “Several accusations were levelled against DMK and its candidate and the election in Vellore was cancelled. Despite several hurdles, DMK alliance won 38 constituencies in Tamil Nadu and Puducherry,” said Stalin.
