As he launched the Tamil Nadu BJP’s six-month padayatra, En Mann En Makkal, on Friday, Union Minister Amit Shah conveyed a stern warning to the Congress and the DMK. Amit Shah made fun of INDIA, the coalition of opposition parties, by claiming that neither of these groups had the country’s best interests at heart. “MK Stalin wants Tejashwi to be the chief minister, Lalu Yadav wants Tejashwi to be the chief minister, Mamata wants her nephew to be the chief minister, and Uddhav Thackeray wants his son to be the chief minister. Sonia Gandhi wants to make Rahu Gandhi the prime minister. Only PM Modi is giving his all to the nation, according to Amit Shah.
“There is no use in changing your name. Because the moment you come among the public, people only remember the 2G scam, Commonwealth Games scam, coal scam,” Amit Shah said.
Calling the DMK government the most corrupt in the country and a mafia government, Amit Shah asked why Senthil Balaji continues to be in the cabinet. “You can’t accept his resignation because then all your secret and suspense will be revealed,” Amit Shah said.
“Our leader K Annamalai just made a tweet and the file of crores of scam came out in front of the people. Now if this happens by Annamalai’s one tweet, what will you do now that Annamalai will walk 10,000 km?” Amit Shah said.
“This is a government of illegal wine mafia, sand mafia, of Tamil Nadu Electricity generation and distribution scam. This is an anti-poor government. More than 500 promises were made by Stalin. Instead of fulfilling them, he has drowned the state in alcohol, ganja and drugs,” he said.
The attack by Amit Shah occurs when the INDIA group is protesting in the Parliament and demanding that PM Modi make a statement regarding the Manipur crisis. With the backing of all INDIA parties, the Congress introduced a no-confidence motion in the Lok Sabha, which is scheduled to be discussed the following week. Amit Shah wrote to Mallikarjun Kharge, the president of the Congress, requesting assistance from the opposition parties in ensuring that Parliament runs smoothly.
A group of INDIA bloc MPs will visit Manipur to investigate the situation on the ground amid widespread outrage over the video showing two Kuki women displayed in their pants. After their tour, they will submit suggestions to the government. JD(U) chief Rajiv Ranjan (Lalan) Singh, Aneel Prasad Hegde (JD-U), CPI’s Sandosh Kumar, CPI(M)’s A A Rahim, Samajwadi Party’s Javed Ali Khan, IUML’s E T Mohammed Basheer, AAP’s Sushil Gupta, Arvind Sawant (Shiv Sena-Uddhav Thackeray), D Ravikumar (DMK), Phulo Devi Netam and K Suresh (Congress) will also be part of the 20-member delegation which will leave on Saturday morning and return on Sunday afternoon.
