Prime Minister Narendra Modi, addressing a public rally in Mettupalayam, Coimbatore, made a strong case for the BJP government’s commitment to the welfare of the SC-ST, OBC communities.
“For decades, the Congress-DMK INDI alliance kept crores of people from SC-ST, OBC communities yearning for housing, water, and electricity because they thought that not everyone can get housing and electricity,” said the Prime Minister.
He contrasted this with the BJP government’s efforts, stating, “But the BJP government gave PM Awas to crores of people, brought electricity to every village, gave free ration to 80 crore needy people and most of them are people from SC-ST, OBC communities.”
The Prime Minister’s comments come at a time when the BJP is making concerted efforts to make inroads into Tamil Nadu, a state where the party has traditionally had a limited presence. His remarks are seen as an attempt to highlight the BJP’s commitment to inclusive development and welfare of all sections of society.
The Prime Minister’s address was met with applause from the crowd, indicating the resonance of his message among the attendees. As the political landscape continues to evolve, it remains to be seen how these developments will shape the future of Tamil Nadu politics.
