BJP senior leader and Defence Minister Rajnath Singh on Tuesday accused Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M.K. Stalin of being duplicitous regarding the arrest of Minister V. Senthilbalaji by the Enforcement Directorate and criticised him for putting the spirit of democracy in danger by arresting State BJP functionary SG Suryah.
Addressing a public meeting organised at Tambaram as part of the BJP’s ongoing campaign to publicise the achievements of the Union government, he said Mr. Stalin was now questioning the work of Central investigative agencies and trying to bring disrepute to Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
However, when Mr. Senthilbalaji was with the AIADMK, Mr. Stalin had accused him of corruption and demanded his swift arrest, Mr. Singh said, adding the BJP would not accept such “duplicity of character”.
