Says NDA to form next govt
MADURAI: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday launched a scathing attack on MK Stalin-led DMK, accusing the ruling party in Tamil Nadu of looting the state and promoting “mafia-like politics”.
Addressing a massive public gathering in Madurai, PM Modi alleged that the DMK has indulged in corruption and failed to deliver good governance. He said that the party’s dream of returning to power will turn into a nightmare.
“Some people are dreaming of returning to power in Tamil Nadu, but when they see this massive NDA rally, their dreams will turn into nightmares. This election is the turning point of Tamil Nadu. People have made up their minds; people have decided that the DMK has to be sent out. They also know clearly that only the NDA can bring in change. The next government of Tamil Nadu will be an NDA government,” Modi said.
Modi said that the DMK got the full majority in 2021, yet the party failed to deliver good governance. “They looted the state and furthered dynastic politics,” Modi said, adding that “Madurai stood with MGR, who loved the city immensely.”
“That is why DMK never liked Madurai and brought mafia-like politics to Madurai. They brought poor drainage and inadequate waste management. They took Madurai to the bottom of the national ranking in cleanliness, and the mayor had to resign because of corruption,” he added.
Slamming the DMK for opposing the Madras High Court verdict allowing the devotees to light the ceremonial lamp on the Deepa Thoon at the summit of the Thiruparankundram hill, the Prime Minister said that “truth and Lord Murugan will win.”
“Before coming here, I went to Thiruparankundram to get the darshan of lord Murugan for the divine experience. I prayed for the prosperity of Tamil Nadu and the entire nation. At the same time, my heart felt heavy, and I remembered the young devotee who sacrificed his life. Today, I met his wife and their two little children. I felt that sadness and offered my deepest condolences to them. No matter what DMK does, the truth and devotees of Lord Murugan will win,” the PM added.
