BJP national president JP Nadda on Sunday charged that the INDI Alliance leaders, who are on bail or in jail, were keen to protect the corrupt people while Prime Minister Narendra Modi was pushing hard to crack down on corruption in the country to end.
Those leaders, like Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, were in jail while Congress leaders, including Sonia Gandhi and her son Rahul, were on bail, Nadda said and alleged that the opposition leaders were painting a contrasting picture compared to the Prime Minister, who is an epitome of development and development. determined to end corruption.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi says I will end corruption, but INDI alliance leaders say they have to save the corrupt people. That’s their working style. In Tamil Nadu, the DMK, which stands for Dynasty Money Swindling, and Katta Panchayat and its ally Congress are corrupt. They are all trying to save their families and dynasties and themselves from their corruption, Nadda said at a meeting here.
The opposition leaders across the country were just family parties, trying to save their dynasty and family parties. So even in Tamil Nadu, development is at stake under the corrupt DMK regime and people should drive out the DMK and its allies for a corruption-free India, he said.
The enthusiasm, vigor and vitality witnessed at the meeting here made him confident that people would send the BJP candidates to Parliament, he said.
Nadda also accused the DMK and Congress of going against Tamil culture, tradition and customs and this could be gauged from their opposition to Modi’s installation of the Sengol in Parliament. In this fight against them, we are here to revive Tamil culture but on the other hand they are trying to destroy Tamil culture. You must understand this, the BJP president said.
He asserted that the country has taken a great leap in development under the Prime Minister’s dynamic leadership. India, which was the 11th largest economic power in the world in 2019, became the 5th largest economy under Modi’s leadership. If he becomes prime minister for the third time, the country would further grow into the world’s third largest economy, he said.
Listing out the numerous achievements of the BJP-led government at the Center in various sectors, he said Modi has made India strong by focusing on the marginalized sections and empowering women and farmers, and by catering to the ambitions of the youth. He took care of Dalits, tribals and those left behind in making India strong, he added.
Tamil Nadu was very special for Modi, who increased tax payments to the state three times and increased support from the Center four times. He secured a hefty allocation for Tamil Nadu under the National Health Mission (with an allocation of Rs 1,650 crore) for improving health infrastructure, in addition to the allocated Rs 613 crore for rural road development, Rs 872 crore for drinking water, Rs 10,346 crore for rural development and a seven-fold railway budget for the state.
On one hand we have a Prime Minister who works for the country and TN and on the other hand we have the INDI alliance – an alliance of parivar bachao, dynasty bachao, save the family and a conglomerate of only corrupt parties, Nadda said during the meeting.
