Coimbatore, April 2 -- Deputy Chief Minister Udhayanidhi Stalin on Thursday alleged that the Centre is attempting to "take control" of the state through opposition AIADMK, asserting that the upcoming Assembly election is a contest between Delhi and Tamil Nadu.

He accused the Centre of not providing funds or schemes for Tamil Nadu.

"Delhi, as usual, is trying to take control of our state. They've not given any funds or any schemes for Tamil Nadu. But they're trying to take control of the state through AIADMK. That's why we're continuously telling that this election is between Delhi versus Tamil Nadu, and we're very sure that Team Tamil Nadu will win," Udhayanidhi, DMK candidate from Chepauk-Thiruvallikeni, told ANI.
