Bharatiya Janata Party leader CR Kesavan on Sunday criticised Tamil Nadu Congress Committee (TNCC) president K Selvaperunthagai over his remarks on Union Home Minister Amit Shah's visit to the state.

In a post on the social media platform X, Kesavan said that Congress in Tamil Nadu is deeply divided and plagued by internal disagreements.

He claimed the party was engaged in public infighting. He said it should focus on what he described as the "failed leadership" of Rahul Gandhi, accusing him of leading the Congress to numerous Assembly election defeats and three consecutive Lok Sabha losses.

"The Congress party in Tamilnadu is a dismally divided house in total tatters with their party people indulging in pathetic public bickering. The Congress should worry about the flopped and failed leadership of Rahul Gandhi who has plummeted the Congress to nearly a century of assembly defeats [95 till date]and a hat trick of Lok Sabha defeats. The people of Tamilnadu who have totally lost trust and faith in the Congress-DMK's opportunistic alliance & failure model anti-people DMK Govt, have made up their minds to reject and rout them in the upcoming elections," Kesavan wrote on 'X'.

Earlier in the day, TNCC president K Selvaperunthagai had dismissed the BJP's prospects in the state, stating that even repeated visits by Amit Shah would not change public opinion. He said the people of Tamil Nadu would not accept the BJP and that the party had no political space in the state.

"Even if Amit Shah comes more than 100 times, there is no space for them in Tamil Nadu. People won't accept the BJP," Selvaperunthagai told reporters. (ANI)
