The ruling DMK took a veiled swipe at Defence Minister Rajnath Singh for his comment targeting party president and Chief Minister M K Stalin and dubbed the BJP a ‘reactionary force.’
Days after Singh lashed out at DMK president and Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M K Stalin, the ruling party organ ‘Murasoli’ in its editorial said the very name Stalin evoked fear in the Defence Minister.
“Rajnath Singh says Russian dictatorship’s name is Stalin and Stalin (Chief Minister) is indulging in similar dictatorship,” the DMK’s Tamil daily said.
The DMK newspaper listed a slew of ‘accomplishments’ of Joseph Stalin (1878-1953), the premier of the erstwhile Soviet state from 1941 to 1953. It includes making Soviet Union an industrialised superpower, ending capitalism, opposition to imperalism, guarding the ideals of Marxism-Leninism, job guarantee and social security to all the citizens.
