BJP President Amit Shah today accused the Jayalalithaa government of being the “most corrupt” in the country and asked the people to oust it in the May 16 Assembly elections.
Addressing a press conference in Tiruchirappalli flanked by three Union ministers, including Power Minister Piyush Goyal, Mr. Shah also charged the state government with non-cooperation over implementation of central schemes including UDAY, aimed at helping debt-ridden state power discoms.
Goyal had recently said that Chief Minister Jayalalithaa was “inaccessible” and criticised the state government for not joining the Centre’s UDAY scheme. Mr. Shah also projected NDA as an alternative to AIADMK and DMK. Mr. Shah also trained his guns at both DMK and AIADMK, besides Congress and charged them with corruption.
However, there was no corruption charge against the two-year old Modi government, he said, adding that his party stood for development.
The NDA will deliver on its development agenda in Tamil Nadu if voted to power, he said, alleging that sand and liquor mafia had exploited people under the Dravidian parties’ rule in the state.
