Tamil Nadu Chief Minister and TVK chief C Joseph Vijay on Friday accused former CM MK Stalin and the DMK of burying a POCSO case against industrialist R Veeramani during the previous DMK regime. Addressing a campaign rally in Madurantakam for the October 6 bypoll, Vijay said, "Open your mouth, Stalin Sir," and alleged that the AIADMK was also silent on the issue.
Stalin responded that Veeramani has been arrested and must face maximum punishment. He denied any order to protect Veeramani during DMK rule and accused Vijay of using the tragedy of young girls for bypoll politics. An all-women SIT has been formed to probe the case. The bypoll is scheduled for October 6.
Indian Opinion Analysis
All four sources report the Vijay-Stalin exchange as straight news, with no discernible slant toward either side. The coverage uniformly leads with Vijay's allegation that the case was buried and Stalin's denial, then adds the SIT formation and the bypoll context. The core disagreement is factual: was the case suppressed under the previous DMK government? No source adjudicates this. The Madurantakam bypoll result on October 6 will test whether this issue mobilises voters or is seen as political rhetoric.
