Tamil Nadu Bharatiya Janata Party chief Nainar Nagenthran targeted the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) government in the state and charged that several temples have been demolished under the Stalin regime. Nagenthran also called the DMK government "anti-spiritual."
The BJP organised various events as part of Pongal celebrations in Coimbatore on Sunday. BJP national working president Nitin Nabin also took part in the celebrations. During an outreach programme on the Viksit Bharat – Guarantee for Rozgar and Ajeevika Mission (Gramin)(VB–G RAM G) programme, Nagenthran accused the DMK government of spreading falsehoods against the scheme.
Nagenthran charged, "The DMK is a party that lies and then tries to make it appear as the truth; the chief minister has been making incorrect statements about this scheme."
On upcoming assembly polls in Tamil Nadu, Nagenthran said the DMK government has included cash gift of Rs 3,000 in Pongal kit for votes. Targeting the DMK over corrupt electoral practices, the Tamil Nadu BJP leader said voters should take money from the DMK and vote for NDA in the elections.
