NDA will dethrone TN, West Bengal govts in 2026 : Amit Shah
Chennai, June 8 (UNI) Asserting that the BJP-led NDA would dethrone the present dispensation in Tamil Nadu and West Bengal, Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Sunday said the NDA would form governments in these two states next year. Addressing the state, district and mandal level party office bearers at Madurai after offering worship at the Meenakshi Amman temple as part of his 2-day visit, he said the ruling DMK will be defeated in 2026 polls and an NDA government headed by the BJP-AIADMK would be formed. He also said besides Tamil Nadu, in West Bengal also the NDA will form governments in 2026. Criticising the DMK as a 100 per cent failed government, Mr Shah cited the alleged Rs, 1000 crore irregularities unearthed by ED in the state-owned TASMAC. "Using these funds, at least two classrooms could have been built in each school across the state", he said. He said he was living in Delhi but his ears are always on Tamil Nadu. Referring to Tamil Nadu Chief Minister and DMK President M K Stalin's remarks that 'Not even Amit Shah, no Shah can rule TN", the Union Minister said Mr Stalin is right. "It's not me, but the people of Tamil Nadu will defeat you (DMK)," he said. Earlier, he began his address to the party cadres by apologising to them for not being able to talk in Tamil, which he said was one of the greatest languages. UNI GV 1915
