MK Stalin Slams PM Modi's 'Dummy Engine' Pitch As NDA Launches Tamil Nadu Campaign

This special report covers the escalating political battle in Tamil Nadu as the state enters election mode. Prime Minister Narendra Modi kick-started the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) campaign with a mega rally, showcasing a united front alongside AIADMK chief Edappadi K. Palaniswami, TTV Dhinakaran, and PMK leader Anbumani Ramadoss. In a sharp rebuttal, Chief Minister M.K. Stalin dismissed the Prime Minister's 'double-engine' pitch, labeling it a 'dummy engine' and accusing the Centre of creating roadblocks for the state's growth. Stalin delivered a defiant message, stating, 'Tamil Nadu will never bow to Delhi's arrogance.' The report highlights the clear political lines drawn between a regrouping NDA and a resistant DMK as they head toward high-stakes polls. The programme explores whether the electorate will embrace the NDA's pitch for change or continue to support the DMK's politics of resistance against the central government's narrative.
