“தான் பிடித்த முயலுக்கு 3 கால் என தவெக அரசு செயல்படுகிறது!” – பெ.சண்முகம்

According to News7 Tamil, P. Shanmugam has publicly criticized the Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) party, alleging that the party is operating with stubborn obstinacy regarding its administrative plans. Shanmugam specifically pointed to the issuance of a government order concerning the construction of a new secretariat in Pattinapakkam, characterizing the move as rushed and ill-considered.

The phrase used by Shanmugam, comparing the situation to a 'rabbit with three legs,' is a traditional Tamil idiom used to describe a person or organization that insists on an illogical or impossible position despite clear evidence to the contrary. He argued that the party is pushing forward with its infrastructure agenda without sufficient deliberation or consensus.

This criticism comes as the TVK party continues to navigate its transition into active state politics. The party has yet to issue a formal response to these specific allegations regarding the secretariat project. Political analysts note that such rhetoric is common in the lead-up to administrative shifts in the region, as opposition figures seek to challenge the priorities and decision-making processes of emerging political entities.
