In a veiled reference to Katchatheevu issue taken up against his party by the BJP, Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M K Stalin on Wednesday accused Prime Minister Narenda Modi of indulging in ‘jugglery’ by spreading ‘rumours’ using the Right to Information Act,which the DMK chief dubbed the Saffron party’s new ‘ally’ to confuse people.
Addressing an election rally in this temple town, Stalin slammed Union Minister Nirmala Sitharaman saying she has spoken in the language of a lender and has sought accounts for ‘Rs 5,000 crore,’ from the state government which she claimed was released by the Centre.
Stalin said Nirmala Sitharaman cannot label the payout to the state as something from the Union government as it was Tamil Nadu government’s borrowing that was merely routed through the Centre.
In order to ensure pluralism and social justice in India, the BJP government should be dislodged, he said. Every citizen is prepared to do it and PM Modi has realised this, and he is hence attempting to garner votes by spreading rumours and lies everyday.
