CM Stalin accuses PM Modi of indulging in 'hate politics', asks if he has 'courage' to speak in TN
Dharmapuri (PTI): Chief Minister M K Stalin on Monday accused Prime Minister Narendra Modi of indulging in "vote politics" during his speech in Bihar and wondered if he had the "courage" to speak in a similar vein in Tamil Nadu.
Claiming that the prime minister had described Tamil Nadu as a place for the visitors to reside, Stalin asked, "Does he have the courage to speak in Tamil Nadu?"
"No matter what conspiracy someone hatches, how many slanderous statements are spread, how much fake news is peddled, I wish to say that the DMK will definitely form the government in 2026," Stalin said.
Speaking at party MP A Mani family marriage function, Stalin, who is the president of the DMK, said his party was determined to free the state from the grip of AIADMK.
Referring to the all-party meeting on SIR in which the opposition AIADMK and the BJP boycotted on November 2, he accused AIADMK general secretary Edappadi K Palaniswami of "double standards" on the issue.
It was the responsibility of all political parties to oppose the SIR exercise that "snatches away the voting rights of the people of Tamil Nadu and buries democracy," the CM said.

Madhya Pradesh: BJP leader assaults blind woman in Church

According to The Indian Express reports, Bhargava entered the church, with members of several Hindutva affiliated organisations, alleging that the visually impaired children were being forced into religious conversion; But, the students present at the church have flatly denied all the allegations.
An unnamed police officer cited in media reports states that there was no evidence to support claims of forced religious conversion. The incident has since intensified political debate in the state, with opposition parties demanding accountability and action against those involved.
