AIADMK, BJP in ‘secret alliance’, alleges CM Stalin

Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin on Wednesday launched a scathing attack on the AIADMK and the BJP, claiming that both parties are enacting a drama as if they are separated, but continue to be in a “secret relationship”.

Addressing a public rally in Pollachi, the DMK chief said, “The BJP and AIADMK are trying to fool people by showing that their alliance has broken. But this is a drama as they are secretly in a relationship”.

Stalin’s remarks came weeks after AIADMK General Secretary Edappadi K Palaniswami announced that his party has no ties with the BJP and will also not be a part of the NDA coalition in the upcoming Lok Sabha polls.

Furthermore, Stalin also challenged Prime Minister Narendra Modi to list out the central schemes that were stalled by the DMK government in Tamil Nadu.

“The people of Tamil Nadu must ask him about the special schemes he has brought to the state. Everyone must ask the prime minister to provide an answer. Will you all ask him?” Stalin asked, addressing the people gathered at the event.

Stalin’s remarks came on the backdrop of PM Modi’s claim that the DMK regime scuttled central government projects. “It is nothing but a lie. It is Modi’s lie,” Stalin said.
