DMK president and Chief Minister M.K. Stalin on Sunday came down on the BJP government at the Centre, alleging that it “seeks to create an imaginary India by neglecting the States.”
“The Constitution says that India is a Union of States,” he said, while addressing a public meeting to explain the State Budget to people. India derived its strength from unity in diversity and the DMK also had the responsibility to save the country’s pluralism and secularism.
“Other States are following Tamil Nadu’s ideas of social justice and State autonomy. Leaders from other States are also speaking up for the rights of regional languages. I take a pledge to sow the seeds of the idea of the Dravidian model across the country,” he said.
