India, Sept. 27 -- DMK president MK Stalin hit out at Tamil Nadu Chief Minister C Joseph Vijay, accusing him of "political hypocrisy and administrative failure".

In a detailed social media post late Friday, Stalin responded to Vijay's campaign speech in Madurantakam ahead of the October 6 Assembly bypoll, ridiculing the CM's description of TVK as a "pure force" and the DMK as an "evil force".

During his campaign speech, Vijay reiterated his charge that the DMK was an "evil force", an accusation he has made since the run-up to the April Assembly election.

He alleged a collusion between the DMK, AIADMK and BJP, and claimed that the sensational POCSO case involving Gem Granites chairman R Veeramani was "buried" by the previous DMK regime....
