Releasing the inaugural episode of his newly launched podcast ‘Speaking for India’, Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin on Monday weighed in on what he claimed was the “destruction of the country under the BJP”. Launching a scathing attack on the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA) government at the Centre, the DMK chief said it has destroyed the sense of unity among Indians. “We are living in times where each and every one of us has to speak up for India. The Bharatiya Janata Party is trying to damage the basic structure of India and destroy the sense of unity that Indians have cherished and protected for so long,” CM Stalin said in the inaugural podcast episode. Accusing the BJP of failing to fulfill the promises it made to the people ahead of the 2019 Lok Sabha elections, the DMK chief added, “The Bharatiya Janata Party, which came to power in 2014, has failed to fulfill its pre-election promises, especially with regards to the people’s welfare schemes.” “There were many other yarns that were spun that just remained tall tales,” he added. Taking a swipe at Prime Minister Narendra Modi, CM Stalin said the former lied to the people about the “Gujarat model” and would leave the country’s highest office with “no significant model to call his own”.
