    DMK cannot be stopped by raids and arrests: Udhayanidhi Stalin

    Chennai (IANS) | Tamil Nadu Sports Development and Youth Affairs Minister Udhayanidhi Stalin has said that DMK leaders are not afraid of Prime Minister Modi or Home Minister Amit Shah, they can never be cowed down by arrests and raids. Chief Minister M.K. Stalin’s son Udhayanidhi was addressing a gathering in Pudukottai, Tamil Nadu on Sunday. The youth leader said that the CBI, ED and Income Tax have become volunteer forces of the BJP. He said the BJP was trying to enter Tamil Nadu through the back door as it could not win elections in the state.

    He asserted that the DMK would oust the BJP and its henchmen (AIADMK) from the state in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections.

    The minister called on Tamil Nadu Governor R.N. Ravi of keeping 21 files pending without signing them, as most of them were against the corruption of AIADMK ministers of the previous government.

    Notably, after the midnight arrest of Tamil Nadu minister Senthil Balaji, the DMK is on a collision course with the BJP-led central government.

    Chief Minister Stalin himself is strongly against the arrest, has even challenged BJP that DMK also knows politics and what to do. Stalin has also said that if the DMK retaliates, the BJP will not be able to tolerate it.
