Karaikudi, 23rd Sept. The ruling DMK in Tamil Nadu has no regional aspirations and, like several regional political parties across the country, is keen on continuing dynasty politics, according to BJP national chief J P Nadda, who called on the people to “rid” the dynasty party from the state on Thursday evening.
He stated that the BJP has a bright future in Tamil Nadu and that Lotus will bloom in this holy land, the land of great warriors like the Marudhu Pandi brothers, Velu Nachiyar, and Puli Thevar.
Nadda launched a broadside against the Dravidian major at a well-attended rally in Karaikudi in Sivaganga district, saying regional parties in Punjab, West Bengal, Jharkhand, Odisha, Andhra Pradesh, and Telangana have been reduced to the status of family parties like the DMK in Tamil Nadu.
“Stalin and his DMK have no regional aspirations and no contribution. M Karunanidhi (former Chief Minister and DMK icon) was there. Now his son M K Stalin came and younger Stalin (Udhayanidhi) has come. While all others in the party remain to applaud,” Nadda remarked sarcastically.
“Stalin and his party cannot talk about development because the letters in the DMK stands for Dynasty, Money swindling and Katta panchayat (Kangroo court),” Nadda alleged.
The BJP is the country’s only national party, and under Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s dynamic leadership, it is addressing people’s regional aspirations, including those in Tamil Nadu, Tamil language and literature, culture, and moving forward.
On the other hand, he claimed that the DMK’s contribution was hate politics.
“The DMK is trying to divide the society. Beyond division, you have no vision. Ideologically, you are a big zero. Our ideology is to usher in development for the people,” he said going hammer and tongs at the DMK.
In response to the DMK’s opposition to the National Education Policy (NEP) and the National Eligibility-cum-Entrance Test (NEET), Nadda stated that students from rural backgrounds can pursue medical education.
“Do you know what is in NEP? For the first time the Prime Minister paved the way for studying medical and engineering courses in regional languages. They can now read in Tamil,” he noted.
Furthermore, linguistic minorities can receive education in their mother tongue. He slammed the DMK for distorting Tamil pride, saying the BJP spoke of the pride of all languages in the country and of Bharat.
He appealed to the people to rid Tamil Nadu of the dynasty party and ensure lotus bloomed.
The BJP chief highlighted Modi’s numerous initiatives, saying the Prime Minister dedicated projects worth Rs 31,500 crore to Tamil Nadu to improve connectivity, including a 262-kilometer-long Bangalore-Chennai expressway and a four-lane double-decker road from Chennai port to Maduravoyal.
There was no sector that was left untouched. In health, PM Modi laid the foundation for a 100 bedded hospital in Sriperumbudur and also dedicated an AIIMS, which is under construction, at Madurai.
“Not only in the economic field but also in the social field, the DMK and previous congress government failed to recognise the regional aspirations. But Modi recognises the regional aspirations and hence the Narikuravar community has been given the status of ST,” Nadda said.
