Union Home Minister Amit Shah launched a sharp attack on the DMK and the Indian National Congress while addressing a rally in Tamil Nadu’s Tirunelveli on Friday. He accused Chief Minister MK Stalin and Congress leader Sonia Gandhi of prioritising dynastic politics over governance, alleging that their sole objective was to elevate their children to top political positions.
“Stalin’s only agenda is to only make his son Udhayanidhi the chief minister. Sonia Gandhi’s only intention is to make her son Rahul Gandhi the prime minister. I want to tell them both – this will not happen. Modi’s victory is certain,” Shah said, declaring that the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA) would return to power in 2026.
Shah also sought to highlight the alliance between the BJP and the AIADMK, describing it as more than just a political arrangement. “The AIADMK and BJP alliance isn’t just a political alliance. This is to better the lives of Tamilians,” he said.
The Union Minister attributed the BJP’s victories across states and at the national level to the party’s grassroots workers. “BJP’s victory in every state and in the country is attributed to our booth level workers,” Shah told the gathering, urging them to work towards strengthening the party’s base in Tamil Nadu.
