Elangovan’s comment comes after the BJP chose to boycott an all-party meeting called by Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin. In a new tirade against the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on the issue of delimitation, DMK leader TKS Elangovan blasted the party for being a “slave to the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS)\”.
BJP is controlled by the RSS. BJP itself is a slave to the RSS,” Elangovan said to ANI. Elangovan’s comment comes in the wake of the BJP boycotting an all-party meeting called by Tamil Nadu chief minister MK Stalin. The March 5 meeting is meant to deliberate on the suggested constituency delimitation and how it could affect the state.
The DMK spokesperson went on to add parties that would boycott the all-party meeting were not interested in the welfare of Tamil Nadu. How are they going to attend it? The meeting is against them. It is the RSS that will determine which meeting the BJP is going to attend. The parties that are not going to attend this meeting mean they are not interested in the well-being of the state,” Elangovan said.
The announcement follows the BJP state president K Annamalai saying the party would not participate in the all-party meet convened by CM Stalin on the delimitation matter. A letter to Stalin, Annamalai has charged the state government with fomenting “imaginary fears” about the delimitation exercise, calling Stalin’s concerns “ill-conceived misconceptions.”
“We need to set right the ill-conceived misconceptions referenced in your invitation letter to us for the meeting in our letter. We are convinced that you have misinterpreted the delimitation exercise and have called this all-party meeting to propagate your figment of imagination and lie about it consciously even before the means and methods through which the exercise is proposed to be executed are formally launched,” Annamalai stated in the letter.
