M K Stalin, the Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu, has launched a strong attack against Prime Minister Narendra Modi, accusing him of tarnishing the state's reputation with 'unverified data' regarding the Union government's delimitation exercise. Speaking at an election rally in Tirupattur, Stalin questioned whether it was appropriate for someone in Modi's position to speak negatively about a state without proper evidence. He urged Modi to consult the Union government's economic survey and international observations before making such claims. Stalin also criticized Union Minister Piyush Goyal for his remarks that labeled critics of the delimitation as 'uneducated', asserting that Tamils are knowledgeable and self-respecting. He warned Goyal to refrain from speaking arrogantly, stating that Tamil Nadu would respond strongly to any insults to its dignity. Furthermore, Stalin described the delimitation exercise as a 'fascist conspiracy' aimed at punishing states that have effectively implemented population control measures. He instructed all DMK MPs to travel to Delhi to oppose the exercise, emphasizing that any attempt to pass it against Tamil Nadu's will would provoke a significant backlash. Additionally, Stalin condemned AIADMK leader Edappadi K Palaniswami as a 'political chameleon' acting on behalf of the BJP, warning that voting for AIADMK equates to supporting BJP policies that would regress Tamil Nadu.
