DMK leader MK Stalin has criticized Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Vijay for his speech in the Legislative Assembly, accusing him of turning the proceedings into a dramatic performance.
Stalin's remarks came after Vijay delivered a speech in the Assembly that drew attention for its cinematic style and dramatic moments.
During his address, DMK members walked out but Vijay continued his speech and later recreated a gesture associated with Stalin, which went viral.
Stalin questioned Vijay's speech, saying the Speaker should not have allowed the Chief Minister's address to be filmed like a movie sequence without interruptions from the opposition.
He alleged that Vijay's speech focused on accusations and dramatic statements rather than providing answers on key issues.
Stalin also criticized Vijay for allegedly claiming that farmers' protests were influenced by opposition parties and for telling a "short story" during his Assembly speech.
The controversy also followed a viral moment from Vijay's Assembly speech, where he sought permission from Speaker JCD Pabhakar to end his address with a dramatic hand gesture.
