Seeman ridicules TVK for heading coalition government with Congress

NTK leader Seeman on Saturday ridiculed the TVK for leading a coalition government with the Congress, “which was adamant on constructing a dam across River Cauvery at Mekedatu”.Asked about Karnataka Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar’s assertive statement on the Mekedatu issue on the dais shared by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in Bengaluru, Mr. Seeman told reporters in Tiruchi that the Congress was adamant on the issue and denying the rights of Tamil Nadu. “How could the TVK have a tie-up with the Congress, which displays an adamant attitude on Mekedatu? What would the TVK gain in Tamil Nadu by having a tie-up with the party, which is snatching our rights,” he said.The TVK government had achieved nothing during the last six months. It had failed to deliver good governance.On the allegation that Kallakurichi MLA C. Arul Vignesh had sent an objectionable message to Collector J. E. Padmaja, Mr. Seeman, referring to the MLA’s denial, said: “Does it mean that the Collector is lying? Deputy Speaker and Thuraiyur MLA M. Ravishankar manhandled a person who came to air grievances related to his constituency. The MLA has brought disrepute to his post.. However, Chief Minister C. Joseph Vijay cannot even remove him from the post.” Published - November 14, 2026 07:36 pm IST
