BJP chief Annamalai cricitises CM Stalin’s speech at PM Modi’s event
BJP state president K Annamalai has termed the conduct of Chief Minister MK Stalin at Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s event as a black mark in the history of Tamil Nadu politics.
“The state Chief Minister acted exactly in a way that a Chief Minister should not act. After giving away Katchatheevu in 1976, the Chief Minister is asking the Prime Minister to retrieve it. He is speaking without knowing the history to enact a political drama,” Annamalai told reporters after meeting
Prime Minister at Chennai Airport on Thursday night.
Modi on Thursday visited the city to inaugurate and lay the foundation for various developmental projects worth over Rs 31,500 crore.
Annamalai also hit out at CM Stalin for his demand on releasing GST funds. “Without knowing how the GST council functions, the Chief Minister has simply read a statement written by someone seeking the release of GST dues.”
“The Chief Minister enacted a drama at an event organised by the Union government. It is unacceptable to ask Prime Minister to release dues of the GST council,” he said. The BJP leader also threatened to leak the talks held with (the then Sri Lankan president) Mahinda Rajapaksa in 2009. “The prime enemy of the Eelam Tamils is DMK,” he asserted.
Addressing a press conference on Friday, Annamalai said that he would expose scams involving two Ministers of the DMK government on June 1 and force them to resign from their posts. “We will publish books on corrupt practices of each Minister to clean the state politics,” he said.
He also declared that his party would lay siege to the state Secretariat on May 31 against the non-reduction of the value-added tax on petrol and diesel as promised in the DMK’s 2021 Assembly election manifesto.
