Tamil Nadu chief minister M.K. stalin has strongly criticised the opposition, accusing them of engaging in what he described as “politics in the guise of farmers.” His remarks came during a public address, where he questioned the sincerity of certain political leaders who, according to him, adopt the appearance and language of farmers only for political gain.

Stalin stated that true concern for farmers must be reflected through consistent policies, welfare measures, and long-term support, not symbolic gestures or temporary posturing. He alleged that some opposition leaders wear farmer attire and stage protests merely to attract attention, without having a genuine understanding of the hardships data-faced by the agricultural community.

Highlighting his government’s initiatives, the chief minister said the DMK administration has implemented several schemes aimed at improving farmers’ livelihoods, including financial assistance, crop insurance support, irrigation projects, and relief during natural calamities. He emphadata-sized that these actions demonstrate real commitment, unlike what he termed “drama-based politics.”

Stalin further pointed out that farmers are intelligent and aware, and cannot be misled by superficial acts. He urged political parties to engage in constructive dialogue and policy-based politics rather than resorting to theatrics that undermine the seriousness of agricultural issues.

The remarks have sparked political debate, with opposition parties responding by defending their actions and questioning the government’s performance. Political analysts view Stalin’s comments as part of the ongoing war of words between the ruling DMK and the opposition, especially as the state moves closer to future elections.

By drawing attention to what he sees as performative politics, stalin sought to reinforce his government’s narrative of action-driven governance and accountability, positioning the DMK as a party focused on real solutions for farmers rather than symbolic displays.
