India’s Congress Party President Mallikarjun Kharge on Tuesday made a shocking allegation against Prime Minister Narendra Modi, calling him a “terrorist”, as he came down heavily on the AIADMK for joining hands with the BJP-led NDA for the upcoming Tamil Nadu assembly elections, Indian media reported.
Kharge, who was campaigning in Chennai for the DMK-led alliance of which the Congress is a part, questioned how the AIADMK had joined Prime Minister Modi accusing him of being a “terrorist” whose party does not believe in equality and justice.
“How can they (AIADMK) join with Modi? He is a terrorist. And he who won’t believe in equality. His party won’t believe in equality and justice. And these people are joining with them, it means that they are weakening democracy…” Kharge said.
His scathing attack on the AIADMK-BJP alliance comes on the last day of campaigning for the Tamil Nadu election, voting for which will take place on April 23. He did not mince words as he said by joining hands with a party like the BJP, the AIADMK was “weakening democracy and the philosophy of Annadurai, Kamaraj, Periyar…and Babasaheb Ambedkar”.
Kharge, however, promised that the Congress-DMK alliance will continue to deliver “welfare, inclusive growth, quality education, and accessible healthcare” in Tamil Nadu.
