Tiruchi: “The Prime Minister should have reprimanded Karnataka Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar for speaking in a way that suggested no force could stop the construction of a dam at Mekedatu while invoking Prime Minister Modi,” said senior Congress leader Peter Alphonse.
On behalf of the Tiruchi city district Congress, a ceremony was held today to mark the 137th birth anniversary of the late Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru, during which garlands were placed on the statue of Nehru opposite Tiruchi Seva Sangam School as a mark of respect.
Under the leadership of Congress party regional reorganization chairman Peter Alphonse, Tiruchi city district Congress president L. Rex and others garlanded the statue of Nehru and paid their respects by showering flowers.
Then Congress senior leader Peter Alphonse told reporters: At a time when there was no voting right in European countries, the credit for giving voting rights to everyone in India and elevating India to the world’s largest democracy belongs to Nehru alone.
But the Modi-Amit Shah alliance has made it their full-time job to destroy democratic institutions by introducing new conspiracies every day to bury such a proud democracy and strangle it.
The Modi government has made it a habit to paralyze the functioning of the four pillars of democracy and thereby cut down the roots of democracy. On Nehru’s birthday, we pledge that we will not allow the disenfranchisement of the democratic weapon of the common people, the right to vote.
Karnataka Chief Minister Shivakumar has spoken, with Prime Minister Modi present, saying that no force can stop the construction of a dam at Mekedatu. By allowing him to speak like that, Modi has committed a grave offense.
It is one thing for the chief minister of a state to speak on his own; but it is wrong to say such things with the nation’s prime minister on the stage.
Prime Minister Modi, who sat there and ignored it, is acting against the interests of Tamil Nadu. He should not have allowed Karnataka Chief Minister Shivakumar to speak like that; it was wrong, and Prime Minister Modi should have reprimanded him right there on the stage. By not saying so, it only means that the Prime Minister is indirectly acting against the interests of Tamil Nadu.
If a Chief Minister says, with the Prime Minister present, that no force can stop the construction of a dam, it gives the impression that he is speaking with the Prime Minister’s approval. Do we need such a Prime Minister?
The Chief Minister will take action against the TVK MLAs who committed the mistake. While saying that Vijay does not speak up, how many press conferences has Prime Minister Modi held? Everyone has their own style. No one will question Modi.
In that case, they seem to want to create the impression that law and order in Tamil Nadu has somehow completely deteriorated, as if murders, sexual harassment, robberies, and thefts had never happened in Tamil Nadu until now, and as if all of this is happening only after Vijay came to power.
The media is blowing it out of proportion. No one’s position is that murders should happen. Murders must be prevented, and law and order issues must be handled efficiently.
If you compare the criminal incidents that took place last year with the criminal incidents that have taken place after Vijay came to power, it is clear that crimes are decreasing.
Crimes will not decrease in a single day; this is a poisonous plant that has been growing for a long time. It has grown into a poisonous tree. Former Chief Minister Karunanidhi said 20 years ago that the police force’s liver had rotted away.
It is hard to expect Vijay to cut down a poisonous tree that has grown for a quarter of a century within just a few months of coming to power. Surely, our Chief Minister Vijay will soon restore law and order and reform the police force.
Why did Professor Jeyaranjan, who was the head of the committee, remain silent about the 75,000 fake books placed in libraries? Under Vijay’s rule, many good changes are taking place.
If the public welcomes and praises it, these changes will continue. Just as if there is a stone in the food cooked by mother, you throw it away and eat, the erring TVK MLAs should be thrown out. A proper complaint should be filed regarding the MLA sending obscene text messages to the Kallakurichi Collector.
Evidence for that should be obtained. A proper investigation should be conducted. Then appropriate action will follow. Is this some police encounter that can happen in a single day? You are putting pressure on Chief Minister Vijay every day. You want his rule not to continue.
You think that scene should be torn down and thrown out before his rule can spread its roots. They are planning to dissolve his government before the administration comes into his hands. When the vote on constituency delimitation is held in the upcoming parliamentary session, everyone’s true face will be exposed,” he said.
