‘DMK’s crown princess’ and poet Kanimozhi made a reference to (mythical) golden ages of monarchs in the past and juxtaposed present DMK government in the state led by her father M.Karunanidhi, with them. She made this reference during her electioneering for Vandavasi by elections on 3-4 December 2009.
She also said that DMK government transformed TamilNadu into a hunger-free state with the help Re.1 a kg of rice scheme.
Excerpts from her speechs:
“We have read about golden ages of monarchs. But we see one such golden age with our own eyes in the present DMK rule under the leadership of M.Karunanidhi, who repelled hunger and famine from TamilNadu with the help of Re.1 a kg of rice scheme. No other state in the nation executes such a scheme. While news abound on the farmers committing suicides in other states in the nation, DMK government waived debts of farmers to the tune of Rs.7,000 Cr. (and thus saved farmers of the state from such a catastrophe)”.
“Parties which lost confidence on people and boycotted previous by elections and let people down, now come here to contest in Vandavasi. It is time for people to reject the parties which rejected them.
Even when recuperating from a backbone surgery in hospital, Chief Minister M.Karunanidhi was busy preparing (TN government's) budget which featured health insurance scheme for people (Kalaignar Kappeettu Thittam). On the contrast there are some parties and their leaders who lost confidence on people in the face of mere electoral debacle".
"You have these two kinds of people. To whom you are going to vote?” she asked and asserted that people are wiser.
