BJP State president K. Annamalai on Monday, September 24, 2023 claimed Tamil Nadu Sports Minister Udhayanidhi Stalin’s call to eradicate ‘Sanatan dharma’ had eroded 5% of the vote share of the opposition-led INDIA bloc across the country.
“He (Udhayanidhi) should continue to speak like this in the days to come so that this alliance will lose for sure at least 20% of its votes,” Mr. Annamalai contended while interacting with journalists at Thoothukudi airport en route to Tenkasi district to start his second leg of his ‘En Mann, En Makkal’ roadshow.
According to him, people, who had backed the DMK in the previous elections, would never repeat it if Chief Minister M.K. Stalin dared to seek votes by highlighting his ‘achievements’ in the past two years. The Tamils had been hit hard by rampant corruption in all government departments, he alleged. Hence, Mr. Stalin was highlighting the Opposition’s electoral alliance, INDIA, for fetching votes, which would eventually become the biggest failure, he believed.
