Addressing the people, PM Modi said, "The last few weeks of 2023 were difficult for many people in Tamil Nadu. We lost many of our fellow citizens due to heavy rains. There has also been a significant loss of property. I was deeply moved by the condition of the affected families. The Central government stands with people of Tamil Nadu in times of crisis."
"We are providing every possible support to the state government. Just a few days ago, we lost Vijayakanth ji. He was not just Captain in cinema but also in politics. As a politician, he always kept national interest above everything. I also express condolence to his family and admirers. Today, when I'm here I remember, another son of Tamil Nadu, MS Swaminathan ji. He ensured food security for the country. We lost him last year as well," he added.
Union Civil Aviation Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia said, "...Under PM Modi's leadership, the government has ensured that airports are not only a medium of travel, but airports become a centre of growth. Airports become a centre of employment for the whole country. "
"The one change that has taken place in the last 9.5 years under PM's leadership in this sector, he has democratized civil aviation for every single citizen of this country. Everyone who wears a 'Hawai Chappal' must also travel in a 'Hawai jahaaj' that is the PM's aspiration for the people of our country," he said.
