DMK student wing secretary R. Rajiv Gandhi recently came forward to strongly refute allegations made by TVK leader Vijay. Vijay had publicly claimed that the DMK government had failed to uphold its promise regarding the construction of a manimandapam (memorial) dedicated to Dr. P. Subbarayan, the esteemed former Premier of the Madras Presidency.
In a detailed statement issued from Chennai on Saturday, Mr. Gandhi clarified the timeline and current status of the project. He confirmed that Chief Minister M.K. Stalin himself laid the foundation stone for this significant memorial in May 2024, at Thottakurpatti in Namakkal. Mr. Gandhi further emphasized that the construction work for the memorial has since been successfully completed and is now fully prepared for its official inauguration.
