Chennai, February 11 The DMK was using its allies solely to gain votes without giving them any share in power, and this is against social justice, TVK leader K G Arunraj said on Wednesday.
His comments come in the wake of the ruling DMK and its principal ally, the Congress, sparring over power-sharing.
While senior Congress leaders, including Lok Sabha MP Manickam Tagore, have been vocal about power-sharing, DMK President and Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M K Stalin made it clear on Wednesday that while the alliance between the two parties was intact, there was no possibility of sharing power in the state.
"If you look at the situation, one thing must be observed closely. If you look at the chair used by the Chief Minister (M K Stalin), only one leg belongs to the DMK, while the remaining belong to the alliance parties. In that case, using alliance parties only to secure votes without giving them any share in power is an act against social justice," Arunraj said.
"Even if they (the DMK) have won over 130 seats, the contribution of the alliance parties exists in every single constituency. Can they deny that," the former IRS officer asked.
