The time has come to drive the DMK away from Tamil Nadu, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said in Tirunelveli on Wednesday.
Speaking at a public meeting, he said the Centre could not implement many of its ambitious projects in the State, including the AIIMS in Madurai, because of the non-cooperation of the DMK government. He said the BJP, under the leadership of its State president K. Annamalai, would replace the DMK and deliver good governance. “This is Modi’s guarantee,” he added.
The DMK and its allies were keen on promoting their own interests, unmindful of the need to take development to the nook and corner of the State. “For instance, the father [Chief Minister M.K. Stalin] is anxious to promote his son as the next political heir,” but the BJP would protect the interests of your [people’s] children,” he said.
