Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Palaniswami addressing a gathering on the second day of his road show campaign, ‘vetrinadai podum Tamilagam’ in Coimbatore, attacked Stalin in reference with his posing with a ‘Vel’ (spear-associated with the Hindu God Murugan) in hand as an act of deceit with political motivations. 

CM said, “All those who denigrated the God were now enacting a drama by holding the ‘Vel’ for the Assembly polls. They think of God only during the polls. If only Stalin seeks votes by speaking truth, the people may give the status of opposition party to DMK. ‘Vel’ gets visible to Stalin only when polls are round the corner. The God will give you (DMK) appropriate punishment through elections". He stressed, AIADMK treats all religions equally. Also. he remembered his government decision of declaring Thai Poosam as State holiday. He also said the ‘grama sabha’ meetings organised by the DMK as an eyewash. 

“The DMK confused people by holding similar meetings and won the parliamentary polls. It has planned to create similar confusion among people and win this poll too. But people should think whether the DMK fulfilled any of the promises given by it. Stalin tries to gain political mileage by delivering false promises,” he said. BJP state leader L Murugan commented that the people of Tamil Nadu will not believe the ‘new-found’ faith of DMK leader MK Stalin in God. He said, “Those who criticized the BJP’s Vel yatra and termed it as politics are now holding the ‘Vel’ for vote bank politics. People will never trust his new avatar".
