DMK MP Kanimozhi has done a 180, by saying that the Prime Minister who is coming to Tamil Nadu to initiate welfare schemes should be welcomed without resistance. Prime Minister Narendra Modi is to set foot in Tamil Nadu on January 12th for the opening of 11 new Medical colleges. He is also all set to take part in the Pongal festival in Madurai. Thus, BJP functionaries have been busily preparing for this festival.
In the past, the PM has come to Tamil Nadu during the AIADMK government rule to initiate schemes. Functionaries of DMK, Congress, MDMK and VCK have gotten together and have waved Black flags and used Black balloons to oppose his visit. Ever since the DMK formed the government in the state, the members of the party have been reiterating that the state government has to cooperate with the Central government. Meanwhile, there are also criticisms against DMK for welcoming the PM to Tamil Nadu.
When speaking about this, DMK MP Kanimozhi said that it is our duty to welcome PM Modi who is coming to Tamil Nadu to initiate welfare schemes, and that we should not oppose or resist his visit. She also said that it is not correct to oppose when schemes are being initiated for the welfare of the people. Netizens have been trolling and criticising the MP for her statement. The have been questioning whether it is right to tell stories of how the DMK opposed the PM’s visit to Tamil Nadu during the AIADMK rule, and now preach people against resisting the PM’s visit, during the DMK regime.
