"These people speak things which are not fact": DMK after HM Amit Shah's attack

"This is what even MGR said when he split the party. He had given a list of charges but they formed a commission. When an enquiry was carried out, and MGR was called as a witness, he straight-up refused to accept the allegations. As if BJP is not a corrupt party. These people are known for speaking things which are not fact," Elangovan told ANI.

On Wednesday, Union Home Minister Amit Shah launched a scathing attack on the ruling DMK government in Tamil Nadu, accusing its leaders of corruption and misgovernance.

Speaking at the inauguration of BJP district offices in Coimbatore, Tiruvannamalai, and Ramanathapuram, Shah said, "In cases of corruption, all the leaders of the DMK hold a master's degree. One of their leaders is embroiled in a cash-for-jobs case, another is involved in money laundering and illegal sand mining, and a third is facing charges related to disproportionate assets."

Rejecting CM MK Stalin's allegations that Tamil Nadu was denied Central funds, Shah said, "There is no truth in MK Stalin's statement. The Modi government has given Rs 5 lakh crore to Tamil Nadu in the last five years."

"The Chief Minister often claims that the state has faced injustice at the hands of the Centre. However, a comparison of funds disbursed under the UPA and NDA reveals that the real injustice happened during the UPA regime," he further added.

Mocking the DMK, Shah said that those involved in corruption should join the membership drive of MK Stalin's party.

"Sometimes it feels as if DMK has let all the corrupts in the society join DMK through a membership drive. MK Stalin and his son are raising several issues to deviate from real concerns. Today, they are going to have a meeting regarding delimitation. PM Modi has made it clear that even after delimitation, the seats of none of the states in the South will be decreased." (ANI)
