In Coimbatore, Annamalai, the leader of the “We the Leaders” organization, spoke to reporters. Speaking then, he said, “Educational standards and learning ability are declining in Tamil Nadu. Children want to learn more languages. It is wrong for the central government to impose restrictions on foreign languages, and it is wrong for the state government to impose restrictions on Indian languages. In India, even 8- and 10-year-old children are deeply immersed in social media platforms like Instagram. Those under 18 should be banned from using social media. In Tamil Nadu, monsoon precautionary measures have not been taken adequately.”
The Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam government is also making the same mistakes that the DMK made. Even during the DMK regime, some members of that party were involved in cannabis smuggling. After TVK came to power, some members of that party have begun to get caught. Anti-social elements are seeking shelter by using the support of those in the ruling party. To prevent anti-social elements from using the ruling party as a shield, the Tamil Nadu Chief Minister must take action with an iron hand.
Why did the police arrest and take away Naam Tamilar Katchi’s Dharapuram candidate Karthika? They could have issued a notice and summoned her to the police station. This is not a major case. What is the police trying to prove? The police must be prevented from becoming a puppet of the ruling party. Supporting derogatory remarks against women will harm that party. Campaigns that cross the line will no longer work in Tamil Nadu.
Where was the Congress party when the special intensive revision of the electoral roll was carried out? If mistakes were made, everyone should come together and point them out and raise questions. At the same time, institutions functioning under the Indian Constitution should not be made a laughingstock. Rahul Gandhi has every right to raise questions about the SIR. At the same time, one should not act in a way that erodes trust in institutions. The way the Delhi police are handling leaders and harassing them is unacceptable. Actions like these will anger the youth against the central government.
We have come into politics to create fundamental changes and to create new leaders. It is best to contest the local body elections independently. Only then can we take our ideas and plans to the people. It is certain that we are entering politics, and we are clear about contesting the local body elections and bringing about fundamental changes. Rahul Gandhi going abroad is his right. It is enough to respond to the allegations Rahul Gandhi makes against the BJP. Criticizing his personal travel is unnecessary. By continuously leveling criticism against the Election Commission, there is a possibility that public trust in that institution may decline,” he said.
