The ruling DMK president and Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M K Stalin on Wednesday accused Prime Minister Narendra Modi of speaking the language of the opposition and targeting the Congress party as though it was the ruling party at the Centre and this was a puzzle that could not be understood.
On his arrival here from Spain, completing his foreign tour to attract investments, Stalin said investment commitments to the tune of Rs 3,440 crore have been made by several companies during his visit abroad and that showed the confidence of multinational firms in Tamil Nadu and the DMK regime.
The Chief Minister exuded confidence that more investors would come forward to choose Tamil Nadu as their investment destination.
Speaking to reporters, he said the ‘Lok Sabha election is round the corner and further visits to attract investments may be scheduled only following the polls.’
Asked about Prime Minister Modi’s address in Parliament, Stalin said he ‘saw, read, enjoyed and laughed’ at it. Modi, ever since he assumed power, has been speaking continuously as if the ‘BJP is in the opposition and the Congress is the ruling party.’ The Prime Minister behaved as though he was an opposition leader and attacked the Congress which was a ‘puzzle,’ that could not be understood, the DMK chief alleged.
