Stalin meets government employees when he was Leader of Opposition After the ruling party became the Chief Minister, he did not meet the government employees unions. As a result, government employees and government employee unions are frustrated. Moreover, the DMK has the art of announcing something that cannot be done in the election promise and then suffering or giving an answer accordingly.
They have announced that they will bring an old pension scheme for government employees, but now they do not talk about it. Otherwise, they say in one word, lack of funds. You have to realize that it’s easy to say this and it’s hard to say. It is not among the DMK. Neither among the rulers. Saying is one thing, doing is another. This is the history of DMK.
Somehow, at that time Karunanidhi waived farm loans. It was important for the farmers. He did what he was told. Here, they have publicly announced that they will make him the leader of the opposition and they will set up a welfare board for journalists.
But only corporate journalists are admitted as members of the welfare board. Saying is one thing, doing is another. Not only that, we have been saying that the field of journalism needs to change with the times. Why is it that the corporate business press is given more importance than the social welfare paper? They are playing politics to hide all your mistakes and say that what you say is their message. That is why every political party is moving towards this.
That’s why it is called crores of offers and advertisements. If so, how many people’s magazines are there? Will the news department prove that this is in the corporate press? If this is not even a magazine for the people, which can be paid from the taxpayers’ money, then why are you spending crores of tax money?
The Social Welfare Journalists Federation insists that it should be the stand of all social welfare journalists that Chief Minister Stalin should definitely take a stand against the DMK at the time of elections.
