Prime Minister Narendra Modi launched a blistering attack on the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) on Monday, saying the regional party will not be allowed to “loot” the public money in Tamil Nadu.
Whatever the DMK has looted from the people of the state will be recovered and spent on the people of the state by the Bharatiya Janata Party, Modi said while addressing a public event in Chennai.
"The Centre is directly sending money to the beneficiary accounts. The DMK people are having a problem with this. I want to tell them (DMK) that Modi will not let you loot the money of the people of Tamil Nadu, and the money you looted will be recovered and spent for the people of the state. This is Modi's guarantee." he said.
Recalling the Cyclone Michaung that had left a trail of devastation in Chennai in December last year, the prime minister alleged that the M.K. Stalin government was more focused on managing the media.
“People in Chennai were facing problems. Instead of helping them, they aggravated their problems. At the time of the crisis, DMK people were busy with media management instead of flood management. Water was filled inside the houses, but DMK was saying everything was fine," Modi said, reported ANI.
The prime minister said his visits to Tamil Nadu leave many people upset because the popularity of the BJP is growing in the southern state.
