Overview

  • Addressing BJP booth committees in Tirunelveli, Shah said the NDA with AIADMK would form Tamil Nadu’s next government and vowed to end M. K. Stalin’s rule.
  • He accused the DMK of running the country’s most corrupt state government, citing alleged scams from TASMAC and sand mining to transport and MGNREGA.
  • Defending the Constitution (130th Amendment) Bill, he argued that leaders jailed over serious cases should vacate office, invoking cases of K. Ponmudy and V. Senthil Balaji; coverage noted disputes over parts of this claim.
  • Shah urged intensified grassroots work and door-to-door outreach, pointing to a combined 2024 vote share of about 39% for the BJP and AIADMK as a base to build on.
  • DMK deputy general secretary A. Raja countered that Shah cannot decide Tamil Nadu’s chief minister and condemned the bill as a tool to target opponents.
