Tamil Nadu BJP chief and party's candidate from Coimbatore, K Annamalai, on Friday slammed the ruling DMK and its chief MK Stalin, saying that they are the enemies of Tamil Nadu and the people of the state.
"MK Stalin and DMK are the enemies of Tamil Nadu and the people of the state.

He also attacked the opposition INDIA bloc, saying that it does not have a prime ministerial candidate to lead the alliance.

"June 4 will attest to the fact that Tamil Nadu will come Modiji's way, that is, in a very big way," said Annamalai. Taking a dig at the ruling DMK government in the state, Annamalai said that the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has fulfilled all 295 promises of the party stated in the 2019 election manifesto, whereas DMK couldn't even implement 20 out of the 511 promises they made. The BJP chief further demanded the DMK chief and Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin present a white paper on all his poll promises and what he has done in the last 33 months. "If you look at our 2019 election manifesto, we have implemented all our 295 promises. Whereas at DMK, out of the 511 promises they made, they haven't even implemented 20. We are demanding MK Stalin to present a white paper on all his poll promises and what he has done in the last 33 months," Annamalai told ANI.
