🚩 Why the “Next Betrayal” Claim Might Be Unfounded or Misinterpreted
· The specific phrasing about “after the PM spoke about the drying fields, the next betrayal happened” does not match any verified public statement from stalin in reliable media coverage.
· It seems more likely to be a political interpretation or quote error, possibly conflating his criticism of AIADMK or the Centre with water-related farmer issues..jpg)
· media coverage of Stalin’s farmer-related remarks tends to focus on paddy procurement, water rights, and systemic betrayal, but not necessarily in the dramatic way described.
✅ Bottom Line
· There is no solid evidence that stalin said precisely what your tamil headline suggests.
· However, it is well documented that he has accused both his political adversaries and the Centre of betraying farmers—particularly on procurement and irrigation issues.
· The “betrayal” angle is not new in his rhetoric, but framing it as a direct follow-up to the PM’s speech among farmers seems inaccurate or exaggerated based on available sources.
