"DMK is our political enemy and BJP our ideological enemy," says TVK's Veera Vignesh

Chennai (Tamil Nadu) [India], November 3 (ANI): Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) Spokesperson Veera Vignesh on Monday termed DMK as his party's political enemy and the BJP as its ideological enemy. He said that his party is opposed to conducting the Special Intensive Revision of the electoral rolls in the State. However, he added that the DMK government convened an all-party meeting to discuss SIR, aiming to distract people from its "corruption."
"Do you think yesterday's meeting was just an 'all-party meeting'? Instead, it was an all-party meeting of the DMK alliance. It has a purely political motive, aiming to distract people from the DMK's corruption," Veera Vignesh told ANI.
"From the very first day, we said that DMK is our political enemy and the BJP is our ideological enemy. TVK was the first party to raise its voice against SIR in Tamil Nadu... Our leader first expressed displeasure with this SIR... Whenever DMK gets trapped in corruption charges, it diverts people's attention by holding such meetings. TVK will not fall into this DMK's trap. We will expose this corrupt and dynastic DMK model to the people of Tamil Nadu. They will end this monarchy in 2026," he added.
Meanwhile, the all-party meeting convened by Tamil Nadu Chief Minister and DMK leader MK Stalin on Sunday decided to move the Supreme Court against the second phase of the Special Intensive Revision of the voter list in 12 States and Union Territories, including Tamil Nadu.
Sharing an X post, MK Stalin announced the resolution and alleged that the intent behind the SIR exercise is to snatch away the voting rights of the people.
He wrote, "It is the duty of all parties to unite and raise their voices against the SIR being hastily implemented with the intent of snatching away the voting rights of the people of Tamil Nadu and murdering democracy."
"Regarding the confusions and doubts in the voter list revisions - since our demand that they should be conducted after the 2026 general elections with adequate time and without any issues has not been accepted by the ECI, we have passed a resolution in today's all-party meeting to approach the Supreme Court," he added.
Stalin also thanked the 49 parties which participated in the meeting to "protect democracy."
"I express my thanks to the leaders of the 49 parties who participated in the all-party meeting and registered their feelings. I request those who did not participate in this meeting to discuss SIR in their parties and take initiatives to protect democracy," the X post read.
While the TVK did not attend the meeting, the party issued a statement, condemning the SIR exercise.
"The Election Commission of India has announced that a Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of the electoral rolls will be carried out in Tamil Nadu. Earlier, when a similar announcement was made in Bihar, Tamilaga Vetri Kazhagam (TVK) strongly opposed it and warned about its hidden motives. Just as we cautioned then, names of lakhs of voters were removed from the rolls in Bihar, with opposition parties alleging that the deletions targeted certain communities, including religious minorities. Moreover, a case related to the special intensive revision is currently pending before the Supreme Court of India," TVK said in the statement. (ANI)
