DMK alliance afraid of NDA, claims Union Minister L. Murugan
Union Minister of State for Information and Broadcasting and Parliamentary Affairs L. Murugan said on Wednesday that the DMK-led INDIA alliance in Tamil Nadu fears the BJP as it has formed the National Democratic Alliance (NDA). The Union Minister, who visited the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) Namakkal east district office on Wednesday, told the media the DMK that is ruling Tamil Nadu claims the Union government schemes as its schemes. The DMK government is an expert in pasting stickers on Union government schemes. 'The Lord Murugan Conference that is to be held in Madurai on June 22 will ensure the defeat of the DMK government. In the 2026 Assembly elections, Lord Murugan will defeat the DMK. All parties are invited for the conference, without any discrimination, including the AIADMK,' Mr. Murugan added. Stating that in the last 11 years of BJP rule, Defence exports reached an all-time high, he said and added that when the Congress-led government was in power, they imported arms from foreign countries. Alleging that the INDIA alliance is fearing the NDA in Tamil Nadu, Mr. Murugan said that parties that want to remove the DMK from power and parties that want to save people shall join the NDA. Earlier, if the DMK made a statement, its alliance partners Congress, VCK, and Communists will repeat it. Now, they are making contradictory statements. Parties in the DMK alliance will soon exit from it. Union Home Minister Amit Shah has said clearly that in Tamil Nadu the AIADMK general secretary Edappadi K. Palaniswami is the leader of the NDA, Mr. Murugan added.
