In an election campaign at Pethanaickenpalayam in the Salem district on Saturday (March 30) DMK (Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam) leader and Tamil Nadu’s Chief Minister MK Stalin strongly condemned PM Modi’s remark on the deteriorating condition of the state. The DMK chief opposed the Prime Minister’s criticism by saying that 261 BJP leaders have criminal records.
PM Modi paid a visit to the ‘Namathu Booth Valimaiyana Booth’ event on Friday in Tamil Nadu which was held for the BJP workers of the state and criticized the DMK government over several issues. MK Stalin however rejected all the allegations against his government and questioned PM Modi on how he could comment on Tamil Nadu’s law and order when his own party is filled with criminals. MK Stalin also showed a 32-page list of criminal records in the BJP which states that the BJP leaders have about 1977 cases against them, while challenging the PM to provide evidence of his claim.
PM Modi’s comment on DMK government receives hit back
Modi while addressing the event in Salem said that the DMK has lost its sleep after witnessing a huge wave of BJP supporters in Tamil Nadu. Stalin hit back at this by saying that the people of India had instead lost their sleep due to the price hike of petrol, diesel, and LPG cylinders, the youth of India due to unemployment, farmers for the farm laws introduced by the centre, laborers lost their sleep due to anti-labor laws, small traders because of GST and the list goes on.
