Senior Congress leader, Rahul Gandhi, on Saturday launched a sharp attack on the AIADMK-led NDA alliance in Tamil Nadu during an election campaign rally near Sholinghur in Ranipet district, accusing the BJP of attempting to control politics in the state through proxy.
Addressing party workers and supporters, Leader of the Opposition (LoP) in the Lok Sabha, Rahul Gandhi claimed that the AIADMK had lost its independence and was now
functioning under the influence of the BJP.
The AIADMK is no longer what it used to be. It is completely under the BJP’s control,” he said, claiming that the national party was trying to use the Dravidian outfit as a vehicle to establish its presence in Tamil Nadu.
Emphasising the Congress party’s ideological position, LoP Gandhi asserted that governance in Tamil Nadu should remain in the hands of its people.
