The BJP is dreaming of repeating its “Delhi style politics” in Tamil Nadu and such tricks will not work in the state as the people of the state are politically aware, Law Minister and DMK leader, S Regupathy said on Monday, lashing out at the Saffron party over the ED’s claim of Rs 1,000 crore scam in the state.
Speaking to reporters, Regupathy said contrary to assurances made by him before he assumed office in 2014 as Prime Minister, Narendra Modi has been targeting, for over 10 years, opposition-ruled states, by breaking up parties and dislodging elected governments. For this purpose, the Enforcement Directorate is being used by the Centre for intimidation and if the accused join the BJP they are declared “pure” and those who do not join, continue to face vindictive action.
Regupathy asked if the BJP’s state unit had staged protests on issues concerning the state such as non-release of funds by the Centre over the language policy.
