Tamil Nadu election 2021: Prime Minister Narendra Modi today alleged that whilst the Congress government wanted to ban Jallikattu, it was the BJP government at the Centre which cleared an ordinance enabling the tradition to continue. He stated that people today wanted the tradition to continue whilst the Congress termed it barbaric. “UPA was in power in Delhi in 2011 and DMK had big ministries in the central government. The same UPA government banned Jallikattu. One UPA leader described Jallikattu as a barbaric practice! Is that the word you use for something that has been part of Tamil culture for centuries? In 2016, the Tamil Nadu Congress manifesto called for a ban on Jallikattu. Congress-DMK should be ashamed of themselves!” PM Modi stated addressing a public meeting in Madurai.
He stated that the widespread people today of Tamil Nadu wanted a answer and wanted Jallikattu to continue. PM Modi stated that the NDA government cleared an ordinance brought by the AIADMK government which permitted Jallikattu to continue.
The Prime Minister additional stated that the DMK and Congress have no true agenda to speak about but they need to manage their lies mainly because people today are not fools. He stated that whilst the Congress and the DMK retain projecting themselves as the sole custodians of Tamil Culture, the details recommend anything else.
Prime Minister Modi stated that Congress and DMK have mastered the art of not working and spreading lies about these who really work. “A classic example is of AIIMS Madurai. In their many years of power, they did not even think about it. It was our government that brought AIIMS here which will also have a state-of-the-art infectious diseases block. I assure you that this project will be completed as per proper processes. It will ensure quality healthcare and treatment for the people in the region,” stated the PM.
He alleged that the DMK and Congress haven’t understood the ethos of Madurai and retain insulting females once again and once again. “Madurai teaches us important lessons on empowering Nari Shakti. We see it in the way women are worshipped and revered. Sadly the DMK and Congress haven’t understood the ethos of Madurai. No wonder their leaders keep insulting women again and again!” he stated.
The PM stated that the DMK and Congress will not assure either security or dignity for females as the law-and-order scenario will endure below them.
PM Modi claimed that the DMK attempted to make the peace-loving Madurai a mafia den only mainly because of their household complications. The PM also stated that the Congress and DMK have preferred to retain the Devendra Kula Vellalar neighborhood problem hanging for decades but the NDA government ensured their demands are met.
In an appeal to the people today, Modi stated that a vote for NDA is a vote for superior investment in this area. “We’re creating the right atmosphere for more industries to come here, especially agro-industries with help from our farmers in value addition,” claimed the PM.
PM Modi also invoked the late MGR in his speech. “In 1980s, Congress dismissed MGR’s democratically elected government. Elections were called, and he won again from Madurai. In 1977, 1980 and 1984, MGR won from places around this region. His vision for an inclusive and prosperous society inspires us,” stated the PM.
The AIADMK is contesting the Tamil Nadu assembly elections in alliance with BJP and numerous other parties. The elections for the 234-member assembly will be held on April 6 whilst the counting of votes will take location on May 2.
