Hyderabad (Telangana) [India], March 22 (ANI): BJP leader Ramchander Rao on Saturday termed the first Joint Action Committee meeting on delimitation called by Tamil Nadu CM MK Stalin a “divisive agenda of INDI alliance.”
“DMK’s invitation to four CMs and other political parties to discuss the delimitation issue is nothing but a divisive agenda of the INDI alliance…” Rao told ANI.
Rao further hit out at Tamil Nadu CM Stalin and said that he is raising the issue of delimitation to cover up his corruption. Rao accused Stalin of attempting to divide the country in the name of north and south.
The BJP leader also hit out at the BRS for attending the meeting stating that Congress and BRS is on same side against BJP.
“Two things are clear here: BRS is shadowboxing in the assembly with Congress. It is exposed that Congress and BRS are one against BJP. Their friendship is exposed in this meeting. Secondly, the delimitation issue or any other issue raised by MK Stalin is only to cover up his corruption… The north-south divide is being initiated by the Stalin government… The delimitation issue is too premature. They are misleading the country… Stalin is afraid of the BJP’s growth in Tamil Nadu and his fall, so therefore he is trying to divide the country in the name of north and south…” Rao told ANI.
Meanwhile, Tamil Nadu Congress President Selvaperunthagai called the first meeting of the JAC a “historic” meeting.
“…This meeting is historic…CM MK Stalin organised this meeting. We welcome it. Telangana CM Revanth Reddy and Karnataka Deputy CM DK Shivakumar are participating…This meeting will speak for another 100 years – protection of the people of Tamil Nadu and those in south India. This meeting will create some impact, it will give a lot of questions to the Centre,” he said
Speaking on BJP’s ‘black flag protest’ against Karnataka Deputy CM DK Shivakumar, Selvaperunthagai stated, “When anything good is about ti happen to Tamil Nadu, immediately the BJP leaders will bring a black flag. Why not against Dharmendra Pradhan?… Why not against Nirmala Sitharaman?..”
During the first meeting of Joint Action Committee, called in Chennai on Saturday, Tamil Nadu CM Stalin proposed to form a legal expert committee on the delimitation issue, while stressing the need for a “fair delimitation”.
The meeting was attended by various political leaders, including Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister DK Shivakumar, Telangana Chief Minister Revanth Reddy, Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann, Odisha Congress President Bhakta Charan Das, and Biju Janata Dal leader Sanjay Kumar Das Burma, among others.
The MK Stalin-led Tamil Nadu government has locked horns with the Central government over the three-language formula proposed in the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 and the delimitation exercise. (ANI)
