PM Modi in his rally also targeted DMK leaders and said that they are feeling ‘suffocated’ now. Modi said, “In Tamil Nadu, the situation is such that senior DMK leaders who worked soldier to soldier with Kalaignar are feeling suffocated due to the newly minted crown prince of the party. Politics doesn’t work this way,” as quoted by news agency ANI.

 

Further, alleging the Congress Party, PM added, “Congress has imposed Article 356 several times. Both DMK and AIADMK governments have been dismissed by the Congress. Having Congress in any coalition is having a high-handed ally who does not understand local sensibilities”.

Just a few days ago, we ensured the release of fishermen from Sri Lanka, this includes 40 fishermen and 4 boats from Tamil Nadu. Currently, no Indian fishermen in Srilankan custody”.
