Mayiladuthura district DMK deputy secretary Gnanavel has stirred up controversy by saying that we should create an illusion among the people that we are opposing the Congress party on the Cauvery issue, and only then will people believe in us.

A meeting of the district administrators of the parties that are part of the India Alliance was held at Mayiladuthurai. The Congress MLA live-streamed the meeting through his people on Facebook. Rajkumar Speaking without knowing this, DMK District Deputy Secretary Gnanavel said that Edappadi Palaniswami should talk down and pretend to oppose the Congress party. Rajkumar MLA, as opposed to the Karnataka Congress, took all the lessons to create the illusion.

This speech by the DMK executive has created an embarrassing situation for Chief Minister Stalin and the DMK, who are leading legal battles to establish the rights of Tamil Nadu in the Cauvery issue.

Speaking in the Assembly yesterday, Chief Minister Stalin assured that we will not give up Cauvery water rights under any circumstances, and we will definitely get them.

While such constructive steps are being taken by the government in the Cauvery issue, the DMK executive has caused embarrassment to the party leadership by saying unnecessary things out of curiosity.
