Prime Minister Narendra Modi deprived Tamil Nadu of its rights with help from the AIADMK, said Tamil Nadu Congress Committee (TNCC) president K. Selvaperun­thagai on Wednesday.

Speaking at a public meeting at Marapalam seeking votes for Erode DMK candidate K.E. Prakash, Mr. Selvaperun­thagai said, Mr. Modi had not fulfilled any of his promises and had cheated the people of the State with the support of AIADMK general secretary Edappadi K. Palaniswam­i.

“Now, both our enemy (BJP) and the traitor (AIADMK) are contesting against us and they should be defeated,” he said.

When the Congress was in power at the centre, the price of an LPG cylinder was ₹420 whereas it had gone up over ₹1,000 during the BJP rule, the TNCC president said, and credited Chief Minister M.K. Stalin for a healthier financial management in the State.

The Prime Minister, Mr. Selvaperun­thagai said, talks about acting against corruption, “but, 24 people with criminal cases and economic offences cases against them have been cleared of all charges after joining the BJP,”.

Addressing the gathering, KMDK general secretary E.R. Eswaran said, “While we fight to send the BJP home, the AIADMK is fighting to bring the BJP back to power,” and added, “whether you vote for the BJP or the AIADMK, it will be a vote for Mr. Modi,”.

Minister for Housing and Urban Developmen­t S. Muthusamy and Erode East MLA E.V.K.S. Elangovan also spoke at the poll event.

When the Congress was in power, LPG was priced at ₹420 whereas had gone up over ₹1,000 during BJP rule, he said
