What has DMK given apart from family rule corruption asks Rajnath Singh

     Krishnagiri (Tamil Nadu), Apr 16 (PTI) Senior BJP leader Rajnath Singh on Tuesday sought to know from the DMK what it has done for Tamil Nadu apart from "delivering family rule and dispensing corruption."
    Alleging the DMK was not capable of providing corruption-free and development-oriented governance, he said the sole aim of the DMK and its ally- the Congress- was to capture power at the Centre.
"I wish to ask the DMK what have you given to Tamil Nadu? It has given family rule and corruption. While the BJP says nation first, the DMK says family first," Singh said while addressing a poll rally in support of the party candidate C Narasimhan here.

On the other hand, Prime Minister Narendra Modi who was greatly inspired by tall leaders like C Rajagopalachari, K Kamaraj and M G Ramachandran on the social welfare front or honesty in politics was treading on their path for the empowerment of weaker sections.

"J Jayalalithaa too had worked for the poor and served the people. I always have respect for her," Singh added.
The INDI alliance was not durable as the constituents started fighting among themselves before the elections since their sole objective was to capture power, Singh said.
"I wish to ask: Can the DMK or Congress develop Tamil Nadu? Can the DMK ever think beyond its family? Can this alliance strengthen national security or remain intact after the elections? The answer is 'illai' (no in Tamil) for all the questions," he said.
    Also, he sought to know whether corruption was reduced in the state despite the DMK being in power for so many years. Both the DMK and its allies opposed the Women's Reservation Bill in Parliament. "That is why crimes against women are increasing in Tamil Nadu. On April 19th, the women force here has to punish the DMK by voting against DMK's anti-women mindset," Singh appealed.
    He accused the ruling dispensation in the state of being "nothing more than a family enterprise" depriving opportunity for the youth to progress. The BJP was the only viable and vibrant option for the youth of Tamil Nadu, he said and added the people should come out of the clutches of the DMK and opt for a prosperous state under Prime Minister Narendra Modi's leadership.
    Later, speaking at a roadshow in Tiruvannamalai in support of party candidate Ashwathaman, Singh charged the Congress and DMK with attempting to divide the nation on north and south lines and said unlike those parties the BJP considered all parts of the country to be culturally and politically united.

    "We are not doing politics for securing votes but doing politics for nation-building activities...No one can stop India's progress to become one among the top three economies in the world under Modi ji," he said.
