DMK mouthpiece Murasoli published a cartoon

In a rather quirky attack on the Opposition, the DMK mouthpiece Murasoli published a cartoon showing Chief Minister E Palaniswamy and Deputy Chief Minister O Panneerselvam as blood-sucking mosquitoes.

The cartoon reads, "Two traitors who have surpassed the dengue mosquito in drinking the blood of the people".

In an answer to AIADMK's jibe when the dengue deluge was compared to the 'hazardous' plans of DMK, the satirical cartoon grabbed many eyeballs.

The spat began when AIADMK Cooperatives Minister Sellu Raja termed DMK as "Dangerous as dengue... party should not be allowed to come to power." To this, the working president of DMK, MK Stalin retorted by calling health minister Vijayabhaskar as 'dengue Bhaskar'.

The war of words soon escalated, when handloom minister OS Manian said, "If AIADMK is held responsible for dengue, then DMK should be held responsible for AIDS."

In the meantime, Stalin visited his Kolathur constituency on Sunday to spread awareness about dengue. Criticising the state government's committee that was set to assess dengue scare, the DMK working president expressed his disdain in its functionality.

"Just like the AIIMS monitoring committee that visited Jayalalithaa at the hospital and didn't release any report, this committee will also do the same. It is useless," he stated.
