While the BJP needed everybody within the nation to ‘bow’ earlier than Mr. Modi and Mr. Shah duo, the Congress celebration believed within the ethos of brotherhood and equality, he stated.

He was for a relationship with the Tamil people who is equal, and respectful and in addition needed the state to be run from Tamil Nadu and never Delhi, an indirect allegation that the BJP-led Centre known as the pictures within the state and never the AIADMK authorities.

“There is a full scale assault on the idea of Tamil Nadu. Don’t underestimate this assualt. This assault has huge amount of money behind it. It is an assault on the idea of India and Tamil Nadu and it is conceptualised by the RSS and Narendra Modi. They want a TN that bows in front of them.” However, they have no idea perceive that Tamils haven’t bowed in entrance of anybody of their historical past however had at all times reciprocated ‘twice’ love and affection showered on them.

Tamil Nadu is a part of the very basis of India, he stated and in addition expressed his want to be taught Tamil.

The AIADMK-BJP entrance could be ‘decimated’ in Tamil Nadu within the ballot battle and the DMK, its chief M.K. Stalin and his party-led Secular Progressive Alliance is the instrument that will steer the rout of AIADMK and its allies, he stated.

Mr. Stalin would turn out to be the Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu, he exuded confidence.
