Stalin says, "We do what we say, and we say what we do. I am the son of Karunanidhi. The AIADMK, which was in power for 10 years, pushed Tamil Nadu into decline. The BJP has not provided any funds to Tamil Nadu. Edappadi Palaniswami ran the government only to award contracts to his relatives."
Tamil Nadu has no caste riots: Stalin
At the DMK rally in Tiruchi, CM Stalin said his regime successfully implemented assurances including fare-free travel for women in buses. Saying that Tamil Nadu has no caste riots, he said the communal violence is seen in BJP-ruled states. Jhe said the mob violence was seen in UP, or continued violence in Manipur.
Stalin says, "There are no caste clashes in Tamil Nadu, no communal riots like in BJP-ruled states, no mob violence like in Uttar Pradesh, and no continuous unrest like in Manipur. We have also thwarted the conspiracies of the BJP to create such situations here. It is because of the peaceful environment and effective governance under our rule that investments are steadily flowing into Tamil Nadu. We have released a detailed action plan and election manifesto to support this. All the announcements I have made will be fulfilled in the coming days."
Stalin says 9 lakh students receive Rs 1,000 per month for higher education
