Stability and growth under Modi, Congress rule marked by indecisiveness, stain of corruption-Murugan
Unlike the Congress government that lacked courage to take bold decisions, the NDA led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi was entering its 12th consecutive year with a track record of stable governance, growth and welfare, Union Minister of State for Information, Broadcasting and Parliamentary Affairs L. Murugan said. Speaking to reporters on Tuesday, June 10, after releasing a book highlighting the achievements of the 11-year NDA government at the BJP office in Puducherry, Mr. Murugan said it was clearly evident that the nation has developed due to the decisive policy measures of the Modi government. In contrast to the Congress governments prior to 2014 that were notorious for policy paralysis and corruption, the Prime Minister had charted the course for a Viksit Bharat by 2047 coinciding with the centenary of India's Independence, he said. According to the Minister, the AINRC-BJP coalition in Puducherry has also successfully implemented various Centrally-Sponsored Schemes. The distribution of free ration rice, which was suspended during the previous government, has been resumed, a 750-acre site in Sedarapet earmarked for setting up industries and at least 4,000 persons given jobs in the last four years, he said. Chief Minister N. Rangasamy has apprised the Prime Minister about the projects needed for the development of the Union Territory of Puducherry and the Centre is providing necessary funds to realise the vision of making Puducherry a BEST (Business, Education, Spiritual and Tourism) hub, Mr. Murugan said. Mr. Murugan expressed confidence that the NDA would win in a landslide in the 2026 Assembly elections in Tamil Nadu and Puducherry. In Tamil Nadu, the DMK and its allies were in a state of panic ever since the AIADMK-BJP alliance was formed, he claimed. The upcoming Thiruparankundram conference for Murugan devotees will be a pivotal event in Tamil Nadu politics, he added. Ministers A. Namassivayam, A.K. Sai J. Saravanan Kumar, BJP State president S. Selvaganabathy, and legislators K. Venkatesan, V.P. Ramalingam and R.B. Ashok Babu participated in the book launch.

Meeting between Gurumurthy, Duraisamy, Ramadoss personal, no BJP connection: TN BJP president
COIMBATORE: The meeting between auditor S Gurumurthy and former Chennai Corporation Mayor Saidai S Duraisamy held with PMK leader S Ramadoss on Thursday, was a personal meeting and the BJP had nothing to do with it, said BJP state president Nainar Nagenthran. Nagenthran visited Erode on Thursday to pay condolences to BJP Modakurichi MLA Dr C Saraswathi's daughter Karunambika Kumar and met media persons at Coimbatore airport. He said that the issue within PMK is an internal issue and it cannot be commented about in public. They should resolve personal issues between PMK leader S Ramadoss and his son Anbumani Ramadoss,' Nainar Nagenthran said. He also said that all parties should come together peacefully to oppose the DMK, and TVK leader Vijay has also been invited to participate. He expressed condolences over the deaths of 11 persons in a stampede in Bengaluru, and said the Karnataka government's failure to organise the event properly was the reason. Nagenthran also said that up to Rs 400 crore for the procurement of paddy from Delta farmers has not been disbursed and the DMK government must protect all farmers in Tamil Nadu. He criticised the law and order situation in Tamil Nadu and questioned whether those arrested in the Erode-Sivagiri murder case, had a connection with the other 19 murder case accused. He questioned if the police had framed innocent persons in the previous 19 cases and asked if the police will take responsibility for such mistakes, if the government does not. He further said, 'Home Minister Amit Shah will visit Madurai on July 8, and if we gather at the Thiruparankundram, it will resonate at St George's Fort.'
