Prime Minister Narendra Modi attacked the DMK-Congress alliance in Tamil Nadu and charged they know only to cheat and insult women. Modi charged the alliance questioned its move to pass the women's reservation bill.”

Addressing a BJP rally in Kanyakumari, Modi said, “The workers of DMK and Congress only know how to cheat and insult women. The people of Tamil Nadu know how the workers of DMK behaved with former chief minister Jayalalithaa. They do politics in the name of women. DMK leaders also questioned our move to bring the Women's Reservation Bill,” ANI reported.

"DMK is the enemy of the future and the culture of Tamil Nadu. Before the Ayodhya Ram temple 'Pran Pratishtha' ceremony, I came to Tamil Nadu and visited the prominent temples in the state. But, the DMK government tried to stop the telecast of the Ayodhya Ram temple consecration ceremony,” the prime minister charged. Modi said the Supreme Court had to reprimand Tamil Nadu government in this regard. “They also didn't like the installation of the Sengol in the new parliament. It is our government which cleared the way for the Jallikattu,” Modi claimed.

The prime minister alleged DMK-Congress alliance history is of scams and corruption hence it can never make Tamil Nadu a developed state. He said the DMK and Congress wanted to come to power to 'loot' people and alleged that the DMK was the 'biggest beneficiary' of the 2G Spectrum scam. “While the BJP has development initiatives to showcase to people,” the PM said, “opposition bloc INDIA, however, only, has 'scams.' He went on to detail such scams saying the 'list is big'.”

Modi alleged that DMK has hatred towards the country, its culture and heritage and that the Dravidian party is an enemy of Tamil Nadu's future and its culture.
