DMK Treasurer T.R. Baalu responded to Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s remarks about the DMK government, asserting that the PM’s anger is understandable given DMK leader M.K. Stalin’s efforts in forming the Indian National Developmental Inclusive Alliance (I.N.D.I.A.). Baalu accused the BJP government of destroying industrial growth in Tiruppur, the location of Modi’s recent speech. He refuted Modi’s claims about the lack of development efforts by the Congress-DMK alliance and highlighted various projects initiated during their tenure. Baalu also criticized the delay in the AIIMS Madurai project and accused Modi of spreading false information about the DMK government’s cooperation with the Centre.
