“If G.K. Mani is the slave of Stalin, his son Tamil Kumaran is the slave of Udhayanidhi Stalin,” said PMK president Anbumani Ramadoss at Eriyur in Pennagaram constituency.

Political got personal and personal got political at Pennagaram, the purported ground zero for the aftermath of the power tussle in the PMK’s first family, as party president Dr. Ramadoss took on the “betrayal” of PMK’s estranged leader G.K.
