"Outdated 2G Missile": PM Modi's Takedown Of DMK's A Raja In Tamil Nadu

Prime Minister Narendra Modi took on Tamil Nadu's opposition DMK today over its senior leader A Raja's insult to Chief Minister E Palaniswami, calling him an ''outdated 2G missile''. Criticism has been heaped on the party -- which is hoping to dislodge Mr Palaniswami's government this time -- over the remark of the former Union minister. Without naming Mr Raja, PM Modi  said the Congress and the DMK have launched their ''outdated 2G missile''. The missile, he added, has one clear target -- the women of Tamil Nadu. "A few days ago, this missile was launched by the UPA witha clear order to attack the nari shakti (women power) of Tamil Nadu. Today the Congress and the DMK have insulted the respected mother of Tamil Nadu Chief Minister K Palaniswami," the Prime Minister said.
