Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed two huge rallies in Theni and Ramanathapuram in Tamil Nadu today.PM Modi paid tributes to the martyrs of the ‘Jallianwala Bagh massacre’ which completes its 100th year today. On this occassion, he also paid his tributes to the great Tamil leaders, MGR and Jayalalithaa for their outstanding service to the Tamil people.
Lashing out at the regional alliance of the Congress and DMK for their failed governance, PM Modi said, “Those parties who used to be sworn enemies have now formed alliances to hoodwink the people of Tamil Nadu. The people remember how in 1979, Congress insulted the DMK, the same also happened recently when DMK leader Kanimozhi was arrested in the 2G scam and DMK leaders were fiercely criticising the Congress. Their recent alliance in the ‘Maha-Milawat’ is not to serve the people of Tamil Nadu but to serve their own families first. All of the leaders in the ‘Maha-Milawat’ want to become the PM. That is why, the people of Tamil Nadu do not trust them anymore.”
Speaking at length about key achievements of the NDA during the last five years, Prime Minister Modi said, “The NDA government has worked for everyone with its mantra of ‘Sabka Sath, Sabka Vikas.’ We increased the MSP of farmers’ crops by 1.5 times its cost and also implemented the decades-long demand of soldiers for One Rank, One Pension. We enhanced the sanitation coverage in the country from 38% in 2014 to 98% in 2019. We opened millions of bank accounts for the poor and also gave them access to clean cooking fuel and electricity.”
Talking about how the BJP stands with the traditions and culture of the people of India, PM Modi said, “We also stand for respect for people’s faith. We have strongly condemned the actions of the Congress and Communists about the Sabarimala Temple issue. As a result, our ‘Sankalp Patr’ also mentions that we will actively pursue for constitutional protection for matters of faith for millions of people in order to prevent a repeat of what has happened in the Sabarimala Temple.”
We observe today, the solemn occasion, of the completion of 100 years since the Jallianwala Bagh massacre.

The Congress, the DMK, and their Maha Milawati friends cannot accept this.
That is why, they are unhappy with me.
Those who were sworn enemies, have come together, in an effort to hoodwink the people of Tamil Nadu: PM
Those of you, who recall 1979, would know how the Congress had humiliated the DMK.
— narendramodi_in (@narendramodi_in) April 13, 2019
More recently, when the 2G scam happened, Kanimozhi was in jail and DMK leaders were criticizing the Congress: PM @narendramodi

The Congress, the DMK and their other Maha MIlawati friends, can never work for India’s development.

Congress and dishonesty are best friends but sometimes, by mistake they end of speaking the truth.
— narendramodi_in (@narendramodi_in) April 13, 2019
Now they are saying- ‘Ab Hoga Nyay’ or now there shall be justice.

I want to ask the Congress party:
— narendramodi_in (@narendramodi_in) April 13, 2019
Who will do Nyay to the victims of the 1984 Sikh riots?
Who will do Nyay to all the victims of the ant-Dalit massacres that happened under their watch: PM @narendramodi
Who will do Nyay to the Governments of the great MGR and Karunanidhi Ji, which were dismissed by Congress just because one family did not like those leaders: PM @narendramodi

The Congress was not able to locate a candidate who belonged to this region.
The AIADMK candidate and his family have stood by you through thick and thin, for generations: PM @narendramodi
It seems the DMK leaders, who are advising the Congress, have sensed the mood in this region.
— narendramodi_in (@narendramodi_in) April 13, 2019

Congress, DMK and their Maha Milawat alliance has no vision or mission for the nation.
— narendramodi_in (@narendramodi_in) April 13, 2019

In the process of hating Modi, the Opposition has begun to hate India.

Our diversity is our strength.
There is unity and diversity in our nation and we are proud of that.
NDA’s approach is of cooperative federalism: PM
When you vote on the 23rd, remember that a vote for Congress, DMK and Muslim League is a vote for higher taxes and lower development.
— narendramodi_in (@narendramodi_in) April 13, 2019
