During his address in Bengaluru, Prime Minister Narendra Modi launched a strong critique of the Congress party, accusing it of betraying its long-time ally, the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK), in Tamil Nadu. Modi highlighted that the Congress has depended on the DMK for decades but abandoned the alliance when it suited their political interests. He described Congress as power-hungry and reliant on regional parties for survival, stating that they have repeatedly betrayed both their allies and voters. Modi also criticized Congress governments across various states, particularly in Karnataka, where he claimed internal disputes have hindered governance. He emphasized that the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA) is a symbol of stability, pointing to recent electoral successes as evidence of growing public support. Modi concluded by congratulating Vijay, the new Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu, on his oath-taking and assured collaboration between the central and state governments to enhance citizens' lives.
