#WATCH# | Chennai, Tamil Nadu: On Karti Chidambaram's remarks, DMK spokesperson T.K.S. Elangovan says, "Whatever he said is right. Of course, the party has not done anything. Manickam Tagore has not criticized the government, but 15 murders in a single day is a shameful thing for any political party to rule this, enrolling the state... political party to rule this, enrolling the state. They don't care about it because since independence, during the last five-six months where BJP is in the TVK had come to power in Tamil Nadu, criminal activities have increased manifold. Every day there is a murder... A deputy speaker is beating his own party man who wanted something to be done to his constituency. He is not seeking any personal help. He wanted an issue in his constituency, in the deputy speaker's constituency, to be resolved, for which the deputy speaker is beating up that man. And another MLA, he is sending ugly messages to the collector..." On CM Joseph Vijay chairing a key meeting on November 11, he adds, "Even then, they won't change themselves.

#WATCH# | Chennai, Tamil Nadu: On the Coimbatore Periyar Library controversy, DMK spokesperson TKS Elangovan says, "... There were three libraries opened after we came to power... And we were planning for some more libraries because we want the children to study and acquire knowledge. But now, after this government came to power, they wanted to mint money. So what they did was, in Periyar Arivulagam, they purchased books at a higher cost, and they wanted to accuse the DMK of that. DMK will not do that. DMK is known for having very good libraries in Tamil Nadu... The very names of the books and writers show that it is the TVK's game. Trisha-Vijay was an author of a book. Is it not a shame? And they say that the book was bought by the DMK... The BJP had asked them to attack the DMK; that's all. And they are doing it sincerely. Otherwise, they will get caught. They want to protect Vijay from BJP's hands. Because the BJP has elected Vijay through unlawful means. I can say that, by EVM fraud and SIR, only Vijay came to power, not by popular votes..." Additionally, he says, "In this government, one thing is happening daily, which is the transfer of officers. Daily, there are transfers of IAS officers... All these criminal activities are done by the TVK ministers, cadets and district secretaries."

The BJP is in power at the Centre. How can he question the BJP? Even this committee may criticise the BJP for some of its activities against Tamil Nadu's interest, the state's interest, the BJP would have to reply, because it is a committee, not a political body. So when they criticize the BJP government, how will Vijay tolerate it? He is a slave of the BJP. He has fallen at the feet of the BJP to protect himself. So that is why he dissolved the committee..."
