‘BJP Has Planned To Destroy Tamil Culture, Language’: Stalin Accuses Modi Govt Of Keeping States Out Of ‘Discussions’

Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin on Sunday accused the country’s ruling BJP of having “planned” to destroy the cultural and linguistic identity of the state. He also alleged that his party’s regional rival, the AIADMK, “destroyed Tamil Nadu for 10 years”. Stalin further said that it is the “duty” of the DMK to “stop BJP and AIADMK”.

“BJP has planned to destroy our language, Tamil Culture, state rights and tried to erase our image. On the other side, AIADMK destroyed Tamil Nadu for 10 years. [AIADMK chief] Edappadi Palaniswami thought people would forget whatever they destroyed…Our duty is to stop BJP and AIADMK,” the Tamil Nadu CM was quoted as saying by news agency ANI.

He also claimed that the Prime Minister Narendra Modi-led central government refrains from taking state governments in on decisions regarding the introduction and implementation of crucial legislations. “Today’s PM was once a CM. Modi tries to destroy all the states… Whichever laws are introduced by the union government, no discussion is made with state governments regarding it. No discussion held with state Chief Ministers,” CM Stalin stated.

“NEP, GST, NEET, and state education and financial rights of states is completely taken away. States have been changed into ATMs to give money to the Union Government,” he said further. In furtherance of his attack on the BJP, Stalin also said that the Centre is yet to provide a “single rupee” to Tamil Nadu government to rebuild the parts of the state affected by cyclone Michaung. “Even at the time of a huge natural calamity, no help is given to us. We have asked for Rs 37,000 crores for recent cyclone devastation but till now no single rupee has been given to us,” he stated.
