Nadda Targets DMK Over Governance, Culture
Addressing the gathering, Nadda said releasing the manifesto on Tamil New Year was a “good decision,” while highlighting the state’s historical and cultural importance.
“When I talk about Tamil Nadu, I always say that it is the cradle of one of the world’s oldest civilizations. Every Indian is very proud of it. Today, this cultural capital has been converted into a crime capital. It is the DMK that made Tamil Nadu fail on all fronts,” he said.
‘Family Party’ Jibe At DMK Leadership
Nadda also launched a direct political attack on the ruling Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam, accusing it of promoting dynastic politics. “It’s a family party where Stalin is at the top, Udhayanidhi is the heir, Kanimozi is the partner, and Sabareesan is the manager. This is how this party is working,” he remarked.
