Senior leader Ila Ganesan said that Stalin did not have even one tenth of the energy, talent and Tamil that Karunanidhi had.
BJP candidate from Thanjavur district Thiruvaiyaru constituency Boondi S. Ila Ganesan, the party’s senior leader, campaigned in support of Venkatesh. He told reporters at the time, “The election in Tamil Nadu is not just a conflict between two ideologies and two parties. In fact, it is Dharmayutham. It is as if there are Pandavas on one side and Kauravas on the other. The Pandava team is led by Chief Minister Palanisamy Arjunan. This is a war that can be fought for Dharma. On the opposite side are Stalin and his men, like Duryodhana. In this election, Dharma will surely win. Stalin did not have even one tenth of a percent of the energy, talent and Tamil that Karunanidhi had. ”
He continued, “I knew the name of Chief Minister Palanisamy only after he became the Chief Minister. But also the plans he has made in these four years. Activities have brought him up to any election. This talent is not in the opposition. DMKs speak poorly in campaigns. That is why people like me are reluctant to campaign. ”
