BJP leader Tamilisai Soundararajan criticized Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M. K. Stalin, alleging that he is fabricating a misleading narrative of rights deprivation to divert attention from administrative failures and corruption. Soundararajan, speaking in Namakkal after gathering inputs for the BJP’s election manifesto, claimed that the Chief Minister is trying to portray Tamil Nadu as economically sidelined by the Union government. She emphasized that the perceived deprivation of rights in the state is artificial and not a reality as projected by the CM.
Soundararajan vowed that the BJP would counter this alleged misinformation through its manifesto and campaign efforts. She advocated for a “double engine government,” stating that having the same party in power at both the Centre and the State would expedite development and enhance the implementation of welfare schemes. The BJP leader expressed confidence in the party’s performance in the upcoming Assembly elections, assuring practical solutions to address public concerns.
Critiquing Stalin’s approach towards the Union government, Soundararajan dismissed claims of Tamil Nadu being treated unfairly in terms of financial policies. She asserted that the financial policies of the Centre are uniform across all states and refuted the notion of Tamil Nadu being neglected or deceived. The escalating political discourse between the BJP and the DMK on fiscal federalism, governance, and the state’s development trajectory ahead of the 2026 Assembly polls has heightened tensions.
