DMK most corrupt regime; 20 pc 'commission' rules, alleges Amit Shah

Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Sunday launched a scathing attack against the DMK regime in Tamil Nadu, calling it the most corrupt in the country, where a "20 per cent cut money" norm prevailed. The senior BJP leader expressed confidence that the NDA would emerge victorious in the Assembly polls due this year in Tamil Nadu and West Bengal. Making a strong pro-Tamil pitch, Shah said that while Chief Minister M K Stalin made false accusations against the NDA of ignoring Tamil, it was the PM Modi-led regime that has implemented a slew of measures to promote the language. Addressing a public meeting at Pudukottai this evening, he said that the ruling dispensation is all about dynastic rule and is synonymous with corruption and should be disowned by the people of the State. The BJP leader said that it was time for the formation of the NDA Government with the AIADMK alliance to rule the State of Tamil Nadu.

திமுக பெரும் 20% கமிஷன் மற்றும் மாநிலத்தின் கடன் சுமை, தமிழ்நாட்டின் முன்னேற்றத்தைத் தடுத்து நிறுத்துகிறது.

Shah said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi gave special attention to Tamil Nadu and the ancient Tamil language and culture by bringing Sengol to the Parliament and also for nominating C.P. Radhakrishnan for the Vice President post. He also listed out the tainted ministers in the DMK regime, including ministers who have been accused of money laundering, cash for job scam, sand mining, and coal mining, among others. He alleged that the DMK had violated the Constitutional rights of the Hindus in not permitting religious rallies in the State. The party leaders in charge of the Tamil Nadu election, namely Union Ministers Piyush Goyal and Arjun Ram Meghwal, attended the meeting.
