Senior BJP leader Nirmala Sitharaman on Friday, 12 April, took exception to Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin’s “migratory bird” jibe made at Prime Minister Narendra Modi over his recent visits to the state, saying the very usage was not proper.
She also slammed the ruling DMK over issues including the drug menace in the state.
“The Chief Minister says the Prime Minister is coming to Tamil Nadu like a migratory bird. Anyone can travel anywhere in the country. The very usage is wrong… Chief Minister is in such a situation that he makes remarks like these,” she said addressing an election meeting here.
She was canvassing votes for the party’s Krishnagiri nominee for the 19 April Lok Sabha polls, C Narasaimhan.
The prime minister has brought investments and the Defence Corridor, which has benefited Hosur in the district, but “they (DMK) come here only for collection,” she said.
In an apparent reference to the DMK’s first family, she said there was much “proof” that alleged drug kingpin Jafar Sadiq, arrested by the NCB in Delhi, recently had contacts with the “family.”
Stalin, on Wednesday, took strong exception to Modi’s campaign in the state that day and likened the latter’s visits to a migratory bird arriving at the sanctuary during the season and posed his questions on a series of issues.
