Meanwhile, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday launched an attack on the opposition parties of the INDIA bloc, stating that whenever he visits Tamil Nadu, some people get a 'stomach ache'. The Prime Minister was addressing a public meeting in Tamil Nadu's Chennai. Highlighting the central government's aim of 'Viksit Tamil Nadu', he added, "Modi has pledged to create 'Viksit Tamil Nadu', along with Viksit Bharat. We are aiming to make the country the third-largest economy in the world. Tamil Nadu has a huge role to play. The central government is working consistently to develop cities like Chennai." Firing fresh salvos at the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) government in the state, PM Modi said, "The DMK government has given a cold shoulder to your dreams and needs. Recently, Chennai had to battle with a cyclone; but the DMK government, instead of helping the people of the state, added to their miseries." The Prime Minister said that the DMK government, instead of engaging in flood management, was doing 'media management'. (ANI)
