Ahead of the Lok Sabha elections 2024, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday addressed a public rally in Vellore, Tamil Nadu.
PM Modi wished the people of the state advance New Year greetings. He emphasized the historical significance of Vellore in shaping the future of the state.
Beginning his speech with a vanakam to Tamil brothers and sisters, PM Modi sought forgiveness for being unable to speak in the Tamil language.
The Prime Minister said, “At the United Nations, I try to speak in Tamil language so that the whole world knows that our Tamil is the oldest language in the world.”
PM Modi lashed out at the DMK-led by Chief Minster MK Stalin. He accused the party of being anti-Tamil.
He accused the ruling Dravidian party in the state alleging it kept the state trapped in old thinking and politics.
PM Modi stated, “DMK wants to keep Tamil Nadu trapped in old thinking, old politics. The whole DMK has become a company of a family.”
“Due to DMK’s family politics, the youth of Tamil Nadu are not getting a chance to move ahead. There are three main criteria to contest elections from DMK and move ahead in DMK. Three main criteria are family politics, corruption, and anti-Tamil culture,” he added.
Addressing the unfortunate disregard and neglect of Katchatheevu Island, PM Modi stated, “Congress-DMK policies have constantly threatened the lives of fishermen in Tamil Nadu.”
He said, “The neglect of Katchatheevu Island, a big blunder of Congress, has perpetually threatened the lives of fishermen in Tamil Nadu.”
PM added that it was only our government that brought the Indian fishermen back.
PM asserted that the NDA is recieving great support in Tamil Nadu.
“Those who are sitting in Delhi may not know that the land of Vellore, the land of Tamil Nadu is going to make a new history. BJP and NDA are getting immense public support in Tamil Nadu. The whole of Tamil Nadu is saying Ek Baar Phir Modi Sarkar,” the PM said.
PM Modi said that India is emerging as a power in the world.
“Tamil Nadu has made a huge contribution in taking India forward in the space sector. Tamil Nadu’s hard work has played a vital role in taking India forward in manufacturing. I am confident that the Defence Corridor being built in Tamil Nadu will take this state to new heights,” the PM added.
All 39 seats in Tamil Nadu will vote in a single phase on 19 April. The counting of votes will be held on 4 June.
