Who Has More Ex-AIADMK Leaders? DMK, TVK Spar Over 'Washing Machine' Remark

Summary

The ruling Tamil Nadu Vetri Kazhagam and the opposition Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam are engaged in a heated exchange over the induction of former AIADMK leaders. The DMK has criticized the TVK for inducting leaders facing corruption allegations, using a "washing machine" metaphor to suggest that politicians become clean after joining a different party. The TVK has dismissed the criticism, arguing that the DMK has also inducted former AIADMK leaders and is therefore in no position to question defections.
