Fate of IIOJK will befall all states if BJP wins polls again: Tamil Nadu CM
Tiruvarur, India: Chief Minister and DMK President MK Stalin has said the fate of Jammu and Kashmir will befall all states in India if the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is voted to power again.
According to Kashmir Media Service, MK Stalin addressing a public meeting at Koradacherry in the district as part of his campaign tour said the “election is the one that will decide whether the country remains democratic or not.”
“If the BJP comes to power again, there will be no federal India, no democratic system, no parliamentary democracy, and above and beyond that, there will be no more states in the country,” he added.
He cited the abrogation of the special status of occupied Jammu and Kashmir, its bifurcation, and making them union territories against the wishes of the residents. He pointed out that there was no election in occupied Jammu and Kashmir for the past five years and how they were not also called now alongside the parliamentary elections.
“This kind of situation might befall Tamil Nadu, even all states, if BJP returns to power,” he said, adding that the BJP’s style of government was dictatorial.
Criticising the “misuse” of power by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the DMK leader further said the continuance of a government led by him will spell destruction to Tamil Nadu and the country at large.
