Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M Okay Stalin, giving a miss to Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s official engagements within the state on Sunday, got here in for sharp criticism from the BJP, which charged him with ‘insulting’ the PM and demanded an apology.
BJP state president Okay Annamalai dubbed as ‘drama’, Stalin highlighting the Parliamentary delimitation train.
Stalin was within the hill city of Udhagamandalam (Ooty) on Sunday to inaugurate a authorities hospital and stated he had knowledgeable the PM about his incapacity to attend the latter’s programme in Rameswaram.
At Rameswaram, Modi inaugurated the brand new Pamban Bridge, moreover launching different initiatives value over Rs 8,000 crore.
At Udhagamandalam, Stalin stated, “We have sought an appointment to present the memorandum on the delimitation… Since I am taking part in this government function I have conveyed to the PM about my inability to take part in his meeting and deputed our Ministers Thangam Thennarasu and Raja Kannappan. Through this meeting and through you, I hereby seek the Prime Minister to allay the fears of delimitation,” Stalin stated earlier within the day.
Responding, Annamalai stated it was a matter of remorse that Stalin was not current on the PM’s occasion.
“The reason given by him (CM) is not acceptable. He knows about PM’s arrival, as the discussions were happening for long. The Prime Minister did not go to New Delhi directly from Sri Lanka but came here to dedicate projects. That being the case, it is the primary duty of the CM to welcome the PM,” Annamalai informed reporters right here.
He accused Stalin of doing politics. “He went to Ooty since it is hot in Rameswaram and he can’t bear the heat,” he mockingly stated.
The BJP “strongly condemns” the CM skipping the occasion.
“The CM has failed to do his duty, should have given the due respect to the PM. The chief minister has insulted the Prime Minister, who came for the sake of the people of Tamil Nadu. He should apologise to the people of Tamil Nadu. He is doing politics by speaking about delimitation,” the BJP chief charged.
