The Prime Minister further asserted that BJP’s performance in Tamil Nadu this time will shatter the arrogance of the DMK-Congress INDI alliance. While the BJP has development initiatives to showcase to people, the PM said, the opposition bloc’s list of scams is big.

Over the past 10 years, highway projects worth around Rs. 50,000 crore have been completed in Tamil Nadu. And, projects worth Rs. 70,000 crore are still underway,” he said.
