The Anna - Artist Academy, the DMK
office in
delhi, was established by Stalin, the DMK
leader and
tamil Nadu Chief Minister.
sonia gandhi, the
congress President, was among those who attended the event. In 2006, the Union
government decided to give a seat in
delhi to a
party that had seven members of
parliament in both houses. It was ruled that land ranging from 500 square metres to 4 acres be allocated based on the number of MPs. In this regard, the DMK was given land in the Deendayal Upadhyaya Marg region of
delhi in 2013, near the
bjp office.
Later, work on the Anna-Artist Academy, the DMK's
office in this city, began. In
june of last year,
chief minister Stalin paid a visit to
delhi and reviewed the construction work, ordering it to be completed as quickly as feasible. As a result, the work was completed in
december of last year. The building, which is 8 thousand square feet in size and has three stories, houses libraries named after Anna and Karunanidhi. The building was supposed to open in January, however it didn't because of increased corona spread.
In this context,
chief minister Stalin inaugurated the Anna-Artist Academy at 5 pm today and hoisted the DMK flag on the flagpole erected there. Also, the statue of DMK founder Anna was unveiled on both sides of the building by the party's general secretary and
tamil Nadu water resources
minister Duraimurugan. The statue of former
chief minister Karunanidhi was unveiled by
party treasurer and DMK parliamentary committee chairman DR Palu.
