The Bharat Jodo Yatra has given a great opportunity to the DMK to renew its commitment to the secular alliance.
Amid speculation fuelled by the AIADMK leader and Former State Law minister Shanmugam that the DMK could cobble up an alliance with the BJP for the 2024 parliamentary polls, the DMK has put the speculation to rest in peace by deputing its deputy general secretary Kanimozhi Karunanidhi to the Bharat Jodo Yatra of Congress leader Rahul Gandhi.
Kanimozhi, DMK sources disclosed, has joined Rahul Gandhi with the approval of DMK president cum chief minister M K Stalin.
“Rahul Gandhi invited her long ago. CM agreed as soon as Kanimozhi requested.
Speaking at the release of the book “Maamanithar Nehru” authored by Congress leader Gopanna in the city, Tamilnadu CM Stalin has said
Unitary policy of Prime Minister Narendra Modi led BJP regime, that Nehru was opposed to one nation, one culture, one language and one religion policy.
“Our party leadership has no qualms whatsoever in backing Rahul’s Yatra. Don’t forget. It was our leader (Stalin) who had flagged off the rally. We are committed to the secular credentials. Our party is determined that the alliance should flourish for the 2024 polls. Everyone knows that the AIADMK is trying to push the BJP away toward us to save itself.
“The speeches of Rahul are causing tremors in the (political landscape) of the country. Rahul is speaking ideological politics. His speech is like Nehru’s speech. Heirs of Godse will feel bitter about the speech of heirs of Nehru and Gandhi.”
