BJP wants to have a puppet AIADMK Chief Minister, says Rahul Gandhi
Allegations of political manipulation and abuse of power warrant urgent attention.
Rahul Gandhi addressed a rally in Thuraiyur, criticizing the BJP for attempting to replace Tamil Nadu's Chief Minister, M.K. Stalin, with a puppet from the AIADMK and control over India's trade deals through its relationship with Donald Trump. He accused the BJP of using intimidation tactics like the Enforcement Directorate and Income Tax to force compromises from the AIADMK, but asserted that the opposition parties had thwarted their attempts to manipulate the electoral map. Gandhi pledged his support for the DMK and its allies in their fight against the BJP's influence in Tamil Nadu.
