Annamalai alleges AIADMK capitalized on 30% commissions from the Central Government's Smart City project, while anticipating a unique vote-shifting strategy between DMK and AIADMK post-April 10th in Coimbatore, a method previously seen in Kerala.
Coimbatore: In a members meeting in Kavundampalayam, BJP's Annamalai has leveled serious accusations against AIADMK, claiming they benefited from a 30% commission in the Central Government's Smart City project. Alongside this, he highlighted an expected shift in Coimbatore's political scene post-April 10th, predicting a vote-shifting strategy between DMK and AIADMK candidates, a tactic similar to those observed in Kerala's electoral politics. Annamalai expressed confidence in his victory and encouraged parties to pursue any strategy they deem necessary, believing that the citizens of Coimbatore will not be influenced.

Further criticizing the current political leaders, Annamalai remarked that no one today matches the revolutionary leader MGR's stature. He questioned the impact of the Smart City project in Coimbatore, pointing out the city's deteriorating infrastructure, such as the lack of well-maintained roads and parks, and challenged the narrative of development being presented. Annamalai's critique extends to the practice of spending lavishly during elections as a means of buying votes, equating it to inflation rather than genuine development. He also announced that a comprehensive election report for Coimbatore will be released in the second week of April, promising a detailed plan for each of the six constituencies and affirming that discussing democracy is not exclusive to anyone, directly targeting Stalin in his remarks.
