Stalin Ramps Up Tamil Nadu Tour, Urges Voters To Reject NDA

The DMK leader is sharpening a state-versus-Centre pitch to defend the Dravidian model.

Overview

  • At a rally in Erode, M. K. Stalin called for a total rejection of the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance in the Assembly election.
  • He highlighted his government's steps on women’s safety, saying police filed charge sheets within 60 days in over 86% of cases and that Tamil Nadu now uses tougher penalties for brutal crimes.
  • He attacked AIADMK and PMK over the Citizenship Amendment Act, which fast-tracks citizenship for non-Muslim migrants, and pressed Edappadi K. Palaniswami to state his position.
  • He warned that an NDA victory could threaten Tamil identity, claiming the bloc might even try to rename the state as "Dakshina Pradesh."
  • Campaigning from Tiruvarur to Trichy, he accused the Centre of rejecting key Tamil Nadu projects and sought votes for SPA candidates in Tiruvarur, Mannargudi, Thiruthuraipoondi and Nannilam.
