T.N. Youth Welfare and Sports Minister, Udhayanidhi Stalin, said that Nilgiris Lok Sabha M.P., A. Raja, who is contesting the seat again this election, had stood his ground with the backing of former Chief Minister, M. Karunanidhi to disprove the “false 2G spectrum case” foisted against him.
Speaking at an election rally in Udhagamandalam in the Nilgiris on Monday, April 15, 2024, while canvassing for votes for Mr. Raja, Mr. Udhayanidhi said that the Nilgiris Lok Sabha M.P. fought tooth and nail as a “lone man” in the Supreme Court to clear his name.
Highlighting multiple development projects that were unveiled while Mr. Raja was M.P., including the Ooty Government Medical College and Hospital, multiple drinking water schemes, the reconstruction of the Udhagamandalam Municipal Market, among others, Mr. Udhayanidhi spoke of the huge increase in prices of LPG cylinders as well as fuel prices as indicative of the failures of the BJP government in dealing with issues that affect the common man.
