AIADMK General Secretary Edappadi K. Palaniswami criticized that Vijay became Chief Minister thanks to the very parties that formed what the TVK previously described as a 'cash-box alliance', including VCK, Congress, IUML, and the Communist Party.
EPS accused the government of mega corruption by procuring a unit of electricity for 30 to 35 rupees, whereas it was procured for 16 rupees during the previous administration and noting that the TVK government had previously canceled a 20-rupee procurement calling it corruption.
EPS noted that while AIADMK lost its winning opportunity, TVK won in Dharapuram with a margin of just 20,000 votes using money and administrative power, and secured only 10,000 more votes in Maduranthakam compared to the last general election.
