After news of migrant workers leaving Tamil Nadu fearing attacks from locals became a political slugfest, DMK’s political strategist Prashant Kishor said these incidents are real and should not be ignored.
Prashant Kishor has accused Bihar’s Deputy Chief Minister Tejasvi Yadav of lying and promised to release original videos of migrant workers attacked in Tamil Nadu in two days to expose his lies. He also claimed that Bihar’s Deputy Chief Minister misled members in the assembly in this issue.
“Bihar’s Deputy Chief Minister has said that these are fake videos, but I will release the real video in a few days,” Prashant Kishor added. He acknowledged that a few journalists shared the incorrect video, but he stated that one should not ignore the “facts of the incidents.”
According to Prashant Kishor, the DGP of Tamil Nadu also denied only two videos in his statement and that there were several videos prior to those videos. He also stated that the incidents have been occurring for the past four months.
He went on to say that the ruling leaders of Bihar are attempting to disprove the incident by claiming that no such incident occurred. In two days, I will post the correct video, he claimed.
The ruling DMK government in Tamil Nadu has denied any attacks on migrant workers. However, the statement of Prashant Kishor, the DMK’s election strategist during the Tamil Nadu assembly election, acknowledging attacks on migrant labourers is seen as a political setback for the DMK.
