Udayanidhi Stalin's AIIMS brick trick boomerangs
By: Tupaki Desk | 29 March 2021 7:09 AM GMT
Sometimes, the best laid campaign plans of politicians prove counter-productive. DMK chief Stalin's son Udayanidhi Stalin is learning this the hard way. His plan to put the BJP in a spot has actually proved counter-productive in Tamil Nadu.
Udayanidhi tried to highlight the failure of the BJP government at the centre in completing the AIIMS hospital in Madurai. To show that the BJP did nothing, he picked up a brick with AIIMS painted on it. He showed the brick and said that this is what the BJP has done. He said nothing except a brick was given to Madurai AIIMS. While this led to guffaws among the audience. But, then the real problem began. A plucky BJP leader lodged a complaint with the police saying that Udayanidhi has actually stolen the AIIMS property and wanted the government to book a case against him for stealing government's property.
Now Udayanidhi's trick has boomeranged. He himself has admitted in front of the media that this was an asset of AIIMS. If he is showing it to the people, then he must have stolen it. So, the BJP worker sought protection to the AIIMS assets, which according to him, were stolen by DMK leaders. The DMK has now been forced to go on the defensive.
