CUDDALORE, NOV 18
In a scathing attack on the main opposition in Tamil Nadu, BJP State unit president L Murugan on Wednesday said the DMK and its allies would be taught a befitting lesson in the forthcoming Assembly polls in Tamil Nadu. He also claimed that only the person identified by the BJP could be the next Chief Minister of the State.
He was speaking at Cuddalore before commencing the ‘Vetrivel Yatra’ in defiance of the ban on it. Actor and BJP functionary Kushboo Sundar said no force could stop the party from accomplishing its yatra.
Murugan, actor Kushboo Sundar and other party functionaries were later detained by the police for going ahead with the rally though permission for it had been denied in view of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Murugan said the current mindset and environment in the State are different from the one the DMK had seen in 1965, adding DMK president MK Stalin and leaders of the DMK`s allies not to indulge in the thought that by playing on religion and language they could continue to hoodwink the people.
He claimed leaders of the DMK and its allies were playing ‘double-game’. On the one hand, they were encouraging their children to learn Hindi and other languages but they were standing in the way of the children in government schools intending to learn more languages. “Why should this ‘modern untouchability’ be adopted by Stalin,” he asked.
He claimed that the BJP would make its presence in the Assembly in 2021 and only the person identified by the BJP could be the next Chief Minister of the State. The Vetrivel Yatra would continue.
Incidentally, Chief Minister Edappadi Palanisami had ruled out any coalition government in the State.
“We will expose the real faces of the DMK and other parties supporting Karuppar Koottam. People can never be hoodwinked by the self-centred forces who have an axe to grind,” Murugan said.
Actor and BJP functionary Kushboo Sundar said no force could stop the party from accomplishing its yatra. “I had escaped a major road mishap earlier in the day when I was on my way to Cuddalore. I have escaped without even small injury and the yatra would complete its journey and reach Tiruchendhur on December 7,” she said.
