India Today
Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin said he would turn into a 'dictator' if malpractices increased during his rule.
Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin on Monday said that if malpractices and indiscipline increased in his rule, he would turn into a 'dictator' to take action.
Addressing local body representatives in Namakkal, CM Stalin stated that they should act as per law and for the people and claimed that strict action would be taken against those who are not following the law.
“My close friends are stating that I’ve turned too democratic. Democracy is about listening and respecting everyone’s opinion. Democracy is not that anyone can do anything. I haven’t turned that way, but if indiscipline and malpractices increase, I’ll turn into a dictator and take action. I’m not saying this to the local body representatives alone but to everyone,”he said.
CM Stalin also instructed women representatives not to give away their responsibilities to their husbands.
Earlier, DMK leader A Raja had implored Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Home Minister Amit Shah to provide 'state autonomy', and not push them to seek an independent country.
Addressing a party meet of representatives of urban local bodies, Raja said though the icon of the Dravidian movement, Thanthai Periyar stood for an independent Tamil Nadu, the DMK moved away from it.
The party, though accepted Periyar, backed integrity and democracy and said, 'long live India' and the party continues to stick to that line.
