Slamming the BJP-led Union government for its persistence with imposing Hindi disregarding Tamil and other languages and washing its hands off Manipur, the ruling DMK in Tamil Nadu, on Wednesday, charged the Centre with usurping the legitimate rights of the states.
At a meeting with the Chairperson and members of the 16th Finance Commission, the Chief Minister called for a new model of sharing tax revenue which does not hinder the growth of developed states.
Caught between his party’s long cherished goal of power sharing and the political compulsion of remaining with the DMK, Dalit leader and MP Thol Thirumavalavan on Friday ruled out entering into an electoral alliance with actor Vijay’s fledgling Tamilaga Vettri Kazagam (TVK).
“Many have started coming up with the motto of destroying the DMK. But, it is not necessary for me to respond to them. The people will give them a fitting reply,” he said, speaking at a marriage reception of a party functionary in Thanjavur, 343 km south of Chennai, on Thursday.
Narendra Modi called the DMK the enemy of the future and the culture of the southern state.
Lashing out at the DMK and Congress, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said on Friday that BJP's performance in general elections will shatter their arrogance in Tamil Nadu.
Addressing a massive rally in Tirunelveli in Tamil Nadu, he said, “Today's advertisement of DMK is ridiculous. They have insulted Indian science and Indian space and for that they should apologize.”
Addressing a massive gathering, he said the truth is bitter but had to be shared with great regret. Coming down heavily on the UPA government, he said that the projects he is privileged to launch now are the longstanding demands of the Tamil people.
With the ruling DMK aiming for a clean sweep and winning all the 39 seats in the parliamentary elections, it has to be seen whether this will be a popular budget or not.
