DMK's A. Saravanan Hits Back At K. Annamalai Over 'Corrupt DMK' Remarks In Tamil Nadu

On this report, the focus is on the escalating political war of words in Tamil Nadu during the Pongal festival. DMK spokesperson A. Saravanan responded sharply to BJP State President K. Annamalai’s allegations that the DMK is a corrupt party that will be 'burnt' in the upcoming elections. Saravanan stated, 'BJP has no moral right to speak about corruption. In independent India, the most corrupt party is the BJP party.' He further alleged that the BJP uses a specific 'playbook' of calling regional parties corrupt while ignoring issues like the PM CARES fund and CAG audit findings. The discussion highlights the friction between the DMK’s 'secular Pongal' claim and the BJP’s 'political Pongal' narrative. The programme explores how the festive season has turned into a battleground for electoral rhetoric ahead of the polls, with the DMK defending its governance style against the BJP's persistent corruption allegations.
