Amit Shah Slams DMK over A Raja’s Remarks Against K Palaniswami

TIL Desk/National/Thirukoyilur(TN)/ Union Home Minister Amit Shah has hit out at the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) over its leader A Raja’s alleged vulgar remarks against Tamil Nadu Chief Minister K Palaniswami’s mother, saying it showed the party had no regard for women.

The “mothers and sisters” of the state should teach a ”lesson” to the DMK in the April 6 Assembly polls by defeating it, he said. Addressing an election rally, Mr Shah canvassed votes for NDA candidates — those from the AIADMK, BJP and the PMK, even as he charged the DMK with aiming to win easily in the polls by ”hook or crook.”

Referring to Mr Raja’s alleged offensive remarks targeted at Mr Palaniswami, leader of the BJP’s ally AIADMK, Mr Shah also accused the DMK and Congress of corruption and dynastic politics. “I saw the statement by DMK leader A Raja. The kind of statement he made against a deceased woman. I think they (DMK) have no regard for women and want to win this election by hook or crook,” he said.

“In the past, DMK made such bad remarks against (the late Chief Minister) Jayalalithaa ji. I appeal to the mothers and sisters of Tamil Nadu– teach a lesson to the anti-women DMK in the polls by defeating it,” the BJP veteran said.
