Chennai (Tamil Nadu) [India], April 11 (ANI): Communist Party of India (Marxist) General Secretary Sitaram Yechury on Thursday said that the ground situation of the INDIA bloc in Tamil Nadu is “extremely positive.”
“It is extremely positive (ground situation of INDIA alliance in Tamil Nadu). We think that in the INDIA grouping, all the parties that are arranged together in this front to save India will repeat in a more emphatic fashion what happened in the last elections where BJP could not open its score. The people of Tamil Nadu will know and PM Modi himself will know. Making so many trips in the state on people’s money,” Yechury told ANI.
Earlier on Wednesday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi took a swipe at the opposition bloc- INDIA alleging the alliance formed to take on the BJP in the Lok Sabha elections does not “trust India’s strength”.
Addressing a public rally in Tamil Nadu Mettupalayam, PM Narendra Modi alleged the ruling party in the state DMK and Congress of having only one agenda to remain in the government by lying.
“INDI alliance do not trust India’s strength. Such a huge pandemic of Corona came into the world. INDI alliance people used to say that India cannot make a vaccine. We said we would make a Made in India vaccine. India not only made the Made India vaccine but also saved the lives of crores of people by giving free vaccines,” the PM said.
Asserting that the BJP made a tribal woman the President of India for the first time, the PM said, “These family parties think that apart from their sons and daughters, no poor or tribal can hold a high position. But BJP made a tribal woman the President of India for the first time and even at that time the INDI alliance people strongly opposed this.”
All 39 seats in Tamil Nadu will vote in a single phase on April 19. The counting of votes will be held on June 4. In 2019, the DMK-led alliance swept the Lok Sabha polls in Tamil Nadu, winning 38 of the 39 seats. (ANI)
