Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday (14 March) launched a scathing attack on DMK-Congress alliance and said that they cannot develop the state as their history is tainted with scams.
"DMK has hatred towards the country, its culture and heritage. DMK is an enemy of Tamil Nadu's future, its culture; 'banned' broadcast of Ayodhya temple event," he said while addressing a public rally in Kanyakumari.
"DMK boycotted our decision to install the sacred Sengol in the New Parliament. They want to destroy the Tamil culture," he said.
"INDI Alliance of DMK and Congress will never make Tamil Nadu a developed state. On one side, you have the welfare schemes of BJP. On the other side, you have the scam list of INDI Alliance. We provided people with optical fiber and 5G internet... They took people's money by orchestrating the 2G scam. We initiated the UDAN scheme, and they initiated the Helicopter scam. We have the results of Khelo India, they have the scam of the Commonwealth Games," he added.
The people of INDI Alliance are responsible for meddling with the lives of the people of Tamil Nadu, PM Modi said.
"Our fishermen were given capital punishment in Sri Lanka... I left no stone unturned to bring our fishermen back," he added.
He also accused DMK and Congress of being anti-women.
"Congress and DMK only know how to misbehave with women... Everyone remembers what the DMK leaders did to Jayalalithaa ji. Their attitude towards women has still remained the same. Crimes against women have increased in Tamil Nadu. When we brought the reservation bill for women in Parliament, neither Congress nor DMK supported it," he said.
"DMK and Congress are both anti-women," he added.
