00:00Well, we're days away from a crucial bi-pool in Tamil Nadu for two seats, Madhuran Takam as well as
00:05Dharapuram.
00:06And so the war of words is escalating. As we just showed you, it's getting rather personal as well.
00:10But between the TVK and the DMK, both parties going all out in their campaign.
00:15The DMK is putting the focus on issues of law and order in the state of Tamil Nadu,
00:19suggesting that the TVK has been unable to bring down the incidents of crime in the state of assaults on
00:27women in the state.
00:28Take a look at this report as we break down the showdown between TVK and DMK.
00:38Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Vijay is once again in DMK's crosshairs.
00:43This time, DMK MP Kani Muri has invoked actor Dhanush's 2014 film while taking a swipe at Vijay's employment scheme.
00:53In the film, Dhanush played an unemployed graduate struggling to find a job.
00:58And Kani Muri used that storyline to target the TVK government.
01:29She alleged that unemployed graduates,
01:32were yet to receive the promised 4,000 rupees and claimed families in the state had also not received the
01:39six LPG cylinders promised by TVK.
01:42But that is not all.
01:44Leader of opposition Udenidi Stalin has also slammed the law and order situation in the state
01:50after a man named Ajit was murdered in Chennai's Ice House police station limits.
01:56DMK MP Kani Muri also hit out at Chief Minister Vijay over the incident,
02:01saying that in Tamil Nadu, prices of food items and incidents of murders are competing with each other to rise
02:08every day.
02:09TVK is yet to respond to DMK's attacks.
02:13Law and order in Tamil Nadu remains a serious issue.
02:17In just two days, nine murders took place in Chennai, a development that has raised alarm.
