Stalin (Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu and leader of the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam party) condemned Prime Minister Narendra Modi's televised address as a desperate act following a parliamentary defeat regarding the Constitution Amendment Bill related to delimitation. Speaking in Hosur, Tamil Nadu, he described the address as a political speech filled with insinuations against the Opposition while masquerading as a government address.
