PM Modi’s remarks came close on the heels of the arrest of former DMK functionary Jaffer Sadiq after the NCB busted an international drug trafficking network worth over Rs 2000 crore.
Accusing the MK Stalin-led party of “depriving” the people of Tamil Nadu of the central welfare schemes, PM Modi said, “Political parties like the DMK fear the welfare schemes of the Modi government, and hence they do not let the benefits of these schemes reach the people. Besides, they paste the stickers of their schemes on all the schemes of the Centre. It is the duty of all the BJP workers to make the people aware of the schemes and their benefits. This, in turn, will instill confidence in the people of Tamil Nadu.”
Talking about the government's focus on women-led development, PM Modi sought to know the schemes that have been most preferred by the women.
“You are already aware that BJP is working towards a model of women-led development. Our commitment is to make India the third largest economy in the world and women will play a key role in it. I am happy that women workers of the BJP are working hard in Tamil Nadu,” he said.
