Union home minister Amit Shah on Sunday demanded votes and victory for NDA in more than 25 of the 39 seats in Tamil Nadu in the upcoming 2024 Lok Sabha elections. He affirmed that a government under the leadership of Narendra Modi would be formed again at the Centre. The Union home minister made the aforesaid demand while launching Bharatiya Janata Party\u2019s campaign in the state ahead of the 2024 Lok Sabha election. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Addressing a public rally in Pallikonda in Vellore district as part of the party\u2019s countrywide campaign to focus on the achievement of the Modi government in nine years, Amit Shah recalled the inaugural event of the new Parliament where the prime minister installed the Sengol. Speaking about the event, he said that Narendra Modi installed the Sengol which is emblematic of the Chola empire. He added that 25 NDA MPs should be elected from Tamil Nadu as a mark of gratitude for installing the Sengol in the new Parliament building. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The home minister further emphasized that the government under the leadership of Narendra Modi has taken multiple initiatives to promote Tamil language, culture and its history. Amit Shah remarked that Narendra Modi makes it a point to recognize the greatness of Tamil literature, Tamil saints and scholars together with its culture with immense pride in whichever country he visits. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Recently, during the inaugural event of the new Parliament, New Justice Party founder A C Shanmugam, who contested on a BJP ticket in the 2014 Lok Sabha election, presented a silver sceptre, known as Sengol to Amit Shah. Sengol is derived from the Tamil word \u2018semmai\u2019, which means righteousness. As per official document, it is a significant historical symbol of Independence that signifies the transfer of power from the British to the Indians.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Apparently slamming Tamil Nadu chief minister MK Stalin, the home minister claimed that CM Stalin asked him on a public platform what has the Modi government done for Tamil Nadu in the past nine years. He added that he came to the state to answer his query and asked the chief minister to answer him the next day. Amit Shah noted that when Stalin\u2019s DMK was a part of the UPA government, Tamil Nadu received Rs 95,000 crores from the Centre in 10 years. On the other hand, PM Modi gave Rs 2,47,000 crore to the state in the last nine years. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Union home minister further stated Congress and DMK as 2G, 3G, and 4G parties. He elaborated that the Maran family is 2G, which has spent nearly two generations in corrupt politics. He claimed that the Karunanidhi family is 3G as it has been involved in corrupt politics for three generations adding that the Gandhi family is also into the same for four generations. He further voiced that it is the time now to throw 2G, 3G and 4G out and hand over the rule of the southern state to the son of the soil of Tamil Nadu. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
