‘Saffron crowd’ wants to swallow Tamil Nadu, DMK won't allow it: Stalin

M.K. Stalin, the ruling DMK president and Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu, accused a "saffron crowd" of attempting to control the state during a party conference. He also criticized Edappadi K Palaniswami, the leader of the AIADMK, for becoming aligned with the BJP. Stalin asserted that his party would not allow the BJP's influence to dominate Tamil Nadu and highlighted the perceived decline of the JD(U) veteran in the state after the BJP's rise.
