Former AMMK propaganda secretary Thanga Tamilselvan, who joined the DMK on Friday, said the party had a strong leadership and its president M K Stalin was a hard-working leader capable of taking Tamil Nadu forward.

“The way he fought the legal battle, to secure a place on Marina for his father's (M Karunanidhi) burial, showed his resolve,” Thanga Tamilselvan told reporters, at the DMK headquarters, Anna Arivalayam.

“Even after his party lost the R K Nagar bypoll, the way Stalin handled the situation and took the party forward showed that he is a true leader. The results of the recent Lok Sabha polls in Tamil Nadu indicate the faith of the people in him,” Tamilselvan said.

Earlier, accompanied by a core group of supporters, Thanga Tamilselvan met Stalin and joined the party. He is likely to be made in charge of the party’s Theni district unit soon.

“Position is not something that one asks and gets. It should be given based on an individual’s contribution to the party. If I do that, am sure the party will recognize my work with due postings,” he said, parrying further questions on the subject. He is expected to organize a large public meeting in Theni soon to enable large number of his supporters to join DMK in the presence of Stalin.

The development came just two days after he denied that he was joining either AIADMK or DMK. “AIADMK lacks single leadership and the party is unable to take any decision. Hence, I did not want to join that party,” Tamilselvan explained. “Now that he has joined the DMK, he (Thanga Tamilselvan) will soon become a zero,” said senior minister D Jayakumar.

Meanwhile, AIADMK social media groups were abuzz on Friday with a message blaming the party coordinator and deputy chief minister O Panneerselvam for forcing Thanga Tamilselvan to join DMK. “People pursuing family interests are the reason behind not letting Thanga Tamilselvan to return to the party. This will now hasten the party’s fall,” said the message, which went viral.
