Dravidian parties in T.N. depend on caste politics: Annamalai

:

BJP Tamil Nadu president K. Annamalai on Wednesday said Dravidian political parties in Tamil Nadu have been depending on caste politics and that is against the principles followed by Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

Addressing the gathering in Tirupattur town as part of his “En Mann, En Makkal ‘‘ padayatra in the district, Mr. Annamalai said that caste politics has been the foundation for many Dravidian parties in the State to spread themselves. In fact, many leaders of these political parties refer to their cadres and local functionaries with their caste surnames. “Contrary to the Dravidian parties in the State, BJP led by Mr. Modi does not believe in caste politics as it is an obstruction for development,” he said.
