Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday launched a scathing attack on the opposition parties in Tamil Nadu, saying the meetings of their leaders are like corruption hackathon. He also said that both the Congress and the Dravida Munnetra Kazhakam (DMK) are suffering from internal contradictions.
“The nation is witnessing two distinct styles of politics today. The opposition's misgovernance with corruption and NDA's governance with compassion,” Modi said, addressing a BJP rally in Coimbatore.
Further sharpening his attack on the DMK-Congree combine, the prime minister said: “For opposition, what matters is personal gain. The DMK and the Congress meetings are like corruption hackathons. Their leaders sit and brainstorm how to loot.”
The BJP is in an alliance with the ruling AIADMK in Tamil Nadu where Assembly elections are due in April-May.
Modi further said the opposition's style of politics was based on bullying and harrasing.
"The entire Tamil Nadu knows how DMK treated Amma Jayalalitha Ji. This shows their attitude towards women. Sadly, leaders who troubled Jayalalitha Ji have been rewarded by DMK and Congress," he said.
Pointing out that the last time the DMK won a full majority on their own in the state was 25 years ago, Modi said the M.K. Stalin's party had lost the right to be called an All Tamil Nadu party.
“Both Congress and DMK are suffering from internal contradictions. Both parties have tried to launch and relaunch their respective first families, but to no success. There's continuous family drama there! They cannot deliver good governance to Tamil Nadu,” said the prime minister.
Modi said the NDA stands for regional aspirations and national progress, and added that the development works launched today must be seen in that spirit.
