Amit Shah Slams DMK Over A Raja's Remarks Against K Palaniswami

Tamil Nadu Assembly Polls: The "mothers and sisters" of the state should teach a ''lesson'' to the DMK in the April 6 Assembly polls by defeating it, Amit Shah said.

Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Thursday hit out at the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) over its leader A Raja's alleged vulgar remarks against Tamil Nadu Chief Minister K Palaniswami's mother, saying it showed the party had no regard for women. The "mothers and sisters" of the state should teach a ''lesson'' to the DMK in the April 6 Assembly polls by defeating it, he said. Addressing an election rally, Mr Shah canvassed votes for NDA candidates -- those from the AIADMK, BJP and the PMK, even as he charged the DMK with aiming to win easily in the polls by ''hook or crook.'' Referring to Mr Raja's alleged offensive remarks targeted at Mr Palaniswami, leader of the BJP's ally AIADMK, Mr Shah also accused the DMK and Congress of corruption and dynastic politics.
