PM Modi attacks Congress, DMK on Katchatheevu, 'Shakti' remarks
DMK in Tamil Nadu, on Katchatheevu and 'Shakti' remarks, accusing them of keeping the «country in the dark» over the island issue and charged them with ill-treatment of women. He especially singled out the DMK over alleged corruption, saying the Dravidian party had the «first copyright» on the issue and added the «family» was intent on looting the state, in an apparent reference to the party's first family, headed by its president and Chief Minister M K Stalin.
«The DMK has the first copyright on corruption, the entire family is looting Tamil Nadu,» he said at an election rally here, while canvassing votes for NDA candidates, including BJP nominees for the April 19 Lok Sabha elections in the state.
He further charged the DMK with being «a family company,» that was impeding the progress of the state's youth with its «old mindset.»
«DMK divides people over language, region, faith and caste. DMK knows that the day people see through this, it will not get a single vote. I have decided to expose the decades-old dangerous politics of DMK,» Modi, whose BJP is making a spirited fight to make significant electoral inroads in the Dravidian heartland, said.
Once again training his guns on the Congress and DMK, both of whom were at power in the Centre and the state, respectively, in 1974 when Katchatheevu islet was ceded to Sri Lanka, he asked in which cabinet meeting was such a decision arrived upon and to 'benefit' whom. The Congress had not provided answers to these.
