He further added that he wants to fill the vacuum left by these two leaders. He reiterated, “There is a vacuum in Tamil Nadu for a good leadership. The absence of these two leaders made me take this step.” Assuring the people, he said, “You don’t need doubt that, I can make it.”
While unveiling the statue of Late Tamil Nadu Chief minister MGR, he also praised the two leaders for their contribution to the state of Tamil Nadu. He also asserted that he will be following the path of MGR.
