Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who is normally on a foreign tour, has chosen to take an inland tour of India because it is election time and he needs votes to remain in power, DMK leader and Chief Minister M.K. Stalin has said at an election meeting in Coimbatore, sharing the stage with Rahul Gandhi, on Friday.
He commenced his speech by saying “Rahul Avargale Varuga - Pudhiya Indiavukkana Vidyalai Tharuga” (Welcome Rahul, present the new India with a dawn).
“Prime Minister Modi, by harping on dynasty politics and corruption, has not insulted the DMK or the Dravidian model of governance, but has gone on to insult the electorate of Tamil Nadu. Anyone can come to politics, whether to accept them or not is the choice of the people. I have answered Mr. Modi umpteen number of times but since he has nothing to showcase as his achievements, Mr. Modi was resorting to such lashing speeches at the DMK,” Mr. Stalin charged.
