Addressing the Tamil Nadu BJP’s executive committee meeting virtually on Monday, Nadda appealed to his party members to give a befitting reply to the Dravidian party in the assembly elections scheduled for 2021. He said that DMK had always been “inciting feelings against national spirit” and was “anti-development” and interest of the nation. Stalin emphasised that DMK was a Democratic Party that believed and worked towards development and national interests. The DMK president’s statement touched upon the house arrest of former leaders, intimidation against activists and the tendency of certain ruling party leaders to refer to political rivals as ‘anti-Indian’ and ‘anti-national’. “The BJP which is trying to buy political leaders in Tamil Nadu also, is against the unity of the country and the democratic values of the country,” the statement from Stalin said.
