Aiming to take on the BJP in Lok Sabha elections due next year and extend strong support to the Opposition bloc INDIA, Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M K Stalin on Thursday said he would address the nation through a multilingual podcast series ‘Speaking for India’, including Hindi for the betterment of all Indians.
Stating that he was compelled to speak for India, the Chief Minister, who is the president of DMK, said the 2024 Lok Sabha elections will mark the end of the BJP rule in the country. The DMK is a constituent of the INDIA grouping.
“Recently, I started a question and answer session: Ungalil Oruvan (one among you) to share my views. The DMK is turning 75 years and is the third major party in the Parliament. It was nurtured by iconic leaders like (former Chief Ministers) C N Annadurai and M Karunanidhi, who created a deep impact,” Stalin said in a post on X, formerly Twitter, with the captions: “Awakening India’s tomorrow, A Southern Voice Speaks for India”.
“We are forced to speak for India. I am going to speak through an audio series about how the BJP regime, which will end in 2024, is destroying India and how we want to build an egalitarian and fraternal India in the future,” he said.
Stalin indicated that his campaign would focus on “how BJP wreaked havoc on India” in the last nine years of its rule at the Centre. His podcasts will also focus on a future India, based on the principles of equality and fraternity. “How are we going to build an egalitarian, and harmonious India in the future? I am going to talk about these in a podcast series. Shall we title it ‘Speaking for India’?” he asks in the video.
The podcast will be in English and other Indian languages to take the ideas of Stalin and the INDIA alliance across the country.
