M K Stalin’s speech at PM’s function disgraceful: Tamil Nadu BJP president K Annamalai

CHENNAI: Tamil Nadu BJP president K Annamalai on Friday said chief minister M K Stalin behaved in a “disgraceful manner” by making a political speech in the presence of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who was in the city to inaugurate development projects and lay foundation stone for new projects worth 31,500 crore on Thursday.
Stalin appealed to the PM to release the GST dues to the state to the tune of 14,006 crore, extend GST compensation for two more years, retrieve Katchatheevu and exempt the state from NEET examination while addressing the gathering at Nehru indoor stadium on Thursday.
Annamalai said the BJP government knows how to retrieve Katchatheevu and the DMK need not take lessons on that. The CM and his party had no moral right to speak about the issue as his father ceded Katchatheevu to Sri Lanka for political gains, said Annamalai. Annamalai said he would expose scams involving two ministers of the DMK government on June 1 and force them to resign from their posts and added, “We will continue to publish books on corrupt practices of each minister to clean the state politics.”
