Tamil Nadu BJP leaders, including Tamilisai Soundararajan and state party chief K Annamalai, staged protests on Saturday against the First Joint Action Committee (JAC) meeting on delimitation convened by Chief Minister MK Stalin in Chennai on Saturday. The BJP leaders accused the DMK government of using the issue as a diversion from its governance failures and corruption allegations.

Speaking on the meet, BJP leader Tamilisai Soundararajan told to ANI, "Union Home Minister Amit Shah's speech clearly exposed the double standards of DMK. He said that we will go to each and every village to expose the corruption charges against the DMK... The delimitation has not even been announced, but the CM is conducting a meeting to hide his misgovernance. All the CMs of other states are attending the meeting to hide their misgovernance..."

Further, she asked if CM Stalin conducted meetings to solve Cauvery or Mullaperiyar dam issues. She told PTI, "We are showing this black flag to safeguard the interests of people of Tamil Nadu. I am asking Stalin - did he conduct any meeting to solve the Cauvery problem? Did he solve the Mullaperiyar dam issue? So, delimitation has not been announced, and not a single word has been uttered by the central government."
