PM Modi addressed a public rally in Madhuranthakam, Tamil Nadu, where he said the people of the state had given the DMK a clear mandate twice, but the party betrayed the trust of the people. He added DMK made many promises but delivered zero results, adding that people are now calling it a CMC government, one that promotes corruption, mafia, and crime.
PM Modi said Tamil Nadu is currently being run by a government that has no regard for democracy or accountability. He alleged that DMK is only focused on serving one family, and that anyone seeking growth in the party must follow one of a few routes: the dynasty route, the corruption route, abusing women, or abusing Tamil culture.
Highlighting the strength of Tamil Nadu’s farmers and fishermen, the PM said the BJP-NDA government policies have led to record production in agriculture and fisheries across the country. He said the NDA government supports farmers and fishermen at every step.
PM Modi said that earlier, many farmers did not even have bank accounts, but the NDA government ensured financial inclusion and launched schemes like PM Kisan Samman Nidhi.
Referring to the PM Matsya Sampada Yojana, he said the NDA government is providing deep-sea fishing vessels to fishermen and has issued Kisan Credit Cards to support their livelihoods. He added that the government is linking small farmers and fishermen with cooperatives and is strongly promoting FPOs. He repeated that the BJP NDA government will work to ensure that the produce of Tamil Nadu’s farmers and fishermen reaches global markets.
PM Modi warned that the entire state is aware of the reality of DMK, noting allegations against DMK leaders of links with drug mafias. He said this poses a serious threat to the future of Tamil Nadu and added that there is widespread anger over the liquor scam, especially among mothers and sisters. He stressed that the youth must be protected from the grip of drugs and said one vote for NDA will free Tamil Nadu from the drug mafias. He assured that while drug and liquor mafias flourished under the DMK government, the NDA’s priority is public health. He promised that the BJP NDA would transform Tamil Nadu’s healthcare system.
PM Modi said the NDA does not just talk about Tamil culture but works with commitment to protect it. Referring to the recent controversy over the sacred lamp of Lord Murugan, he said BJP leaders stood up for the rights of devotees, while DMK and its allies went to court to appease their vote bank. He established that DMK is the biggest enemy of Tamil Nadu’s culture.
He recalled that Congress and DMK had insulted the people of Tamil Nadu by banning Jallikattu, and said it was the NDA government that found a legal way to restore the tradition and honour the state’s heritage.
Concluding his address, PM Modi reaffirmed that with a BJP NDA double-engine government and ‘Modi ki Guarantee’, Tamil Nadu will move towards development, dignity, and a secure future.
