PM Visiting TN Only For Votes: CM Stalin

Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M K Stalin criticized Prime Minister Narendra Modi for what he described as a pattern of visiting the state solely during election periods. Further, Stalin accused Modi of employing central agencies to target opposition-led states.

On Tuesday, Stalin highlighted that this situation was not unique to Tamil Nadu but prevalent in many non-BJP-governed states across the nation, where central agencies and even Governors were causing disruptions to state governments. Addressing a rally in support of DMK candidates and allies, Stalin remarked, "This is Modi's India."

"Is Tamil Nadu a bird sanctuary for the Prime Minister to visit during election season? Why so much malice? Aren't Tamils citizens of this country?" Stalin asked, as per a report on PTI.
