On Saturday, The AIADMK asked the Election Commission to ban DMK MP  and party general secretary A Raja from campaigning for Tamil Nadu assembly election for "making vulgar and scandalous speeches" against Chief Minister Edappadi Palanisamy.

For yout information let us share that C. Thirumaran, AIADMK advocate wing joint secretary, in a petition to the CEO said that Mr Raja had violated election code as well as Indian Penal Code by "repeatedly making vulgar and scandalous speeches" against the chief minister. He also referred to the DMK leader's speech in the Thousand Lights constituency where he made certain remarks loaded with insinuation about Mr Palaniswami's "birth". A Raja said, comparing the two politician's rise in politics "He (MK Stalin) served one year in prison under MISA, was district secretary, then general committee member, youth wing, secretary, treasurer, then working president and after Kalaignar's passing, became party president. That's why one can say Stalin is born in the proper way, nine months after a proper marriage and rituals. Whereas Edappadi is born like a premature baby and came all of a sudden,".

However, here it is to be noted that the chief minister had then reacted to these comments, suggesting that because he was a poor farmer, he was being humiliated and said those who indulged in scams and corruption of ₹ 1.76 lakh crore were ridiculing him. Tamilnadu is set to vote on April 6, expected to see a contest mostly between the ruling AIADMK, fighting back after a disastrous outing in the 2019 general election, and a resurgent DMK in the opposition. Votes will be counted on May 2.
