Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin on Monday took a jibe at Union Home Minister Amit Shah saying why he “is angry with Prime Minister Narendra Modi”.
"I welcome his suggestion, but I don't know what his anger is with Modi," Stalin has reportedly said in Salem.
Earlier, Shah had reportedly urged his party workers in Tamil Nadu to work hard in order to ensure that someone from Tamil Nadu becomes Prime Minister in the future.
Stalin in reaction has reportedly said: "If the BJP has the idea that a Tamilian should be the Prime Minister, there are Tamilisai Soundararajan (Telangana Governor) and L Murugan (Union Minister). I think they may get a chance to be Prime Minister candidates".
According to some senior BJP leaders, Amit Shah also claimed that the DMK had prevented two senior state leaders from becoming Prime Ministers in the past, mentioned NDTV report.
Shah reportedly alleged that K Kamaraj and GK Moopanar had been prevented by the DMK from becoming prime minister.
However, the report said MK Stalin challenged Shah to make his statement public, so that the DMK could give a detailed explanation.
DMK has also questioned Shah's assertions about the Centre's initiatives for Tamil Nadu and said the allocation of funds, as stated by him, was part of the government's "constitutional duty".
