Union Minister and Tamil Nadu BJP election in-charge Piyush Goyal praised Prime Minister Narendra Modi for his leadership and expressed confidence in the NDA's victory in the upcoming Tamil Nadu assembly elections.

After attending the ‘Mera Booth Sabse Mazboot Samvaad’ programme in the Mylapore Assembly constituency, Goyal stated that the Prime Minister’s address will strengthen party workers’ resolve to defeat the “corrupt DMK.”

He said, “PM Narendra Modi is a Karyakarta by heart… He guides us on how to win the hearts of the people, how to reach out to different sections of society and serve the people of Tamil Nadu… Our estimate is that several lakh Karyakartas have joined this audio bridge to hear Prime Minister Modi and will benefit from his advice on how to campaign, how to reach out to the voters and how to win this election so that the corrupt DMK government is defeated… The NDA is going to win this election because we are working like a family together.”

Earlier in the day, Prime Minister Modi virtually addressed BJP booth workers in Tamil Nadu during the same programme. He criticised the DMK government, alleging it obstructed the implementation of central government schemes, thereby depriving citizens of their benefits.

Modi stated, “Under the Mudra scheme, millions of youth and small traders have received loans without a guarantee. A large number of women have also benefited from it. But it is unfortunate that due to the attitude of the DMK government, many poor families could not avail the benefits of the PM Awas Yojana. Proper surveys were not conducted, names of eligible people were not included… If this work had been done, then millions of families in Tamil Nadu would have received pucca houses.”
