A political row has erupted between the DMK and the TVK government over the decision to scrap the Parandur Airport project in Tamil Nadu. The DMK has alleged that the project was cancelled under the influence of advisers from Andhra Pradesh to benefit their home state, calling the move a betrayal of Tamil Nadu. In response, TVK leaders have claimed that the DMK originally selected Parandur to boost real estate investments held by its own leaders in the area. The dispute follows broader exchanges between both parties concerning governance and policy decisions in the state.

00:00Now, this has become the next flashpoint in terms of mounting attacks coming in against
00:05Chief Minister Vijay.
00:06The DMK has also come in to voice their attacks on this very matter of Parandoor Airport project
00:12being scrapped because they see conspiracy in Vijay dropping the very Parandoor Airport
00:18project.
00:18DMK claims Vijay dropped the Parandoor project to benefit Andhra.
00:23DMK points to two advisors from Andhra.
00:26Parandoor would have stopped Andhra Airport, points fingers to Vijay aides Vishnu Reddy,
00:31Arukhya Sami.
00:33DMK claims Vijay's big betrayal to Tamil Nadu cause at this given point.
00:37These are the entire remarks coming in from the DMK mounting the attack up against him
00:43over the Parandoor Airport project itself.
00:45Listen in to what's been said first before we proceed with the discussion.
00:56Advice-fed are there, one is Vishnu Reddy, one is John Arukhya.
01:01Two are.
01:02Two are.
01:03Two are.
01:04Two are.
01:06Two are.
01:07Two are.
01:08Three are.
01:24Two are.
01:56In Tamil Nadu were basically DMK's projects itself but with a different name.
02:03All of DMK's schemes and projects were being scrapped and then they were being renamed and then launched by the
02:10TVK.
02:11These were some of the allegations that were coming in.
02:13Again, war of words have continued ever since the TVK has come into power in Tamil Nadu,
02:19which is a rather common occurrence we see when there is a shift in power in a certain state.
02:24But right now, there is a major project that's been scrapped by the Vijay government that we're referring to here,
02:30which is the Parandur Airport Project.
02:32Now, over that, the DMK has come out to make some very big claims that it's been done so that
02:37Andhra Pradesh benefits from it.
02:39Because Andhra Pradesh has a certain airport which does not get blocked or used less,
02:45which is why the Parandur Project has been completely scrapped and thrown out of the window.
02:49So, what is right here and what is wrong here, that's something we will get an idea about here with
02:55regards to the details coming in
02:57about what is being said right now by the DMK and also the reasons that have been cited by the
03:02Vijay government
03:03for scrapping the Parandur Project, which is something we've taken you through details earlier.
03:07Anaga Kesap joins me with her insights on the entire matter.
03:10Anaga, very good morning to you.
03:12This is what the DMK now has said, the fact that Andhra Pradesh will benefit from this entire move
03:19and it is keeping in mind that very advantage to Andhra Pradesh,
03:23which is why TVK and led by Chief Minister Vijay, listening to certain advisors from Andhra,
03:29scrapped this entire project.
03:35Yeah, that's right.
03:37And that's because both Vishnuretti and John Arogyasamy, they hail from that part,
03:41they hail from Andhra Pradesh and therefore that's RS Bharati there, the senior DMK leader,
03:45making a very scathing allegation that the very reason why Parandur Airport project was dropped,
03:50it was only so because the investors would rather go to Andhra Pradesh for investment
03:55so that it can benefit that state rather than Tamil Nadu.
03:58So therefore, hinting out that it's because of vested interests why Parandur Airport was dropped
04:03is what RS Bharati says.
04:06But here in TVK, a lot of leaders and ministers are of the opinion that the DMK,
04:11you know, in fact chose Parandur in the first place because a lot of DMK mantris and neethas
04:17have already bought real estate properties in and around Parandur.
04:20So therefore, having an airport in Parandur would greatly benefit them.
04:24So this is the exchange of war of words that, you know, that we are witnessing at the moment
04:29with one side saying that it was to shoo away investors to Andhra Pradesh
04:33and the other side saying that it was to greatly benefit the DMK leaders and their families
04:38and to boost real estate value by Parandur,
04:41who was chosen in the first place to build a second airport in Chennai.
04:46Thank you for putting that into context for our viewers at this given point.
