At the language issue, Shah stated, "I'm reminding the tamil Nadu government once more (approximately). You preserve speakme of tamil (pleasure). But why haven't you added teaching better schooling like engineering in Tamil? I also want to ask stalin why he has by no means thanked (High minister Narendra) Modi for putting in Tamil's symbol, the sengol, in the Parliament.

The Union domestic minister also raked up the alleged tamil Nadu state marketing organization (TASMAC) case—a kingdom-run alcoholic liquids body—claiming it fleeced the state exchequer of Rs  39,000 crore, which could in any other case be used to build "two greater rooms in each college in tamil Nadu."

The Enforcement Directorate had recently performed searches in recognition of the "Rs 1,000 crore TASMAC rip-off." But, last month, the best court docket halted ED lawsuits into the case below the Prevention of Money Laundering Act after hearing a plea by way of the tamil Nadu government, who stated it changed into an overreach of the important corporation's powers and a contravention of the charter.

He additionally alleged that the DMK government devoted a sand mining fraud to the tune of Rs 4,600 crore, forcing the poor people of the country to buy sand at inflated prices just to assist the ruling birthday party to mint cash.

"The DMK government has crossed all limits of corruption...the DMK government became involved in a Rs  4,600 crore sand mining scam, which has severely impacted the lives of the terrible."

Shah levelled allegations of irregularities in the Centre's Rs 450-crore nutrition kit program and stated a non-public firm was given the contract, leading to graft.

He introduced, "Crimes in opposition to women and drug mafia are increasing in tamil Nadu... There is unemployment. But the tamil Nadu leader minister would not care about all this."

Shah drew in tamil deity Lord Murugan over the Thiruparankunram problem. Earlier in February, there was anxiety at a temple (one of the six abodes of Lord Murugan) in Thiruparankundram, close to madurai, after individuals of the right-wing outfit Hindu Munnani held a protest towards a call by some Muslim organizations to rename the hillock, which is likewise domestic to a dargah, as Sikander Malai (hillock). At the time, the residents here belonging to the Hindu and Muslim groups had stated that they had coexisted peacefully for generations. However, Shah stated that the DMK had insulted Hindu worshippers here. Shah advised people to participate in huge numbers on june 22 for BJP's conference on Lord Murugan in Madurai.

Earlier in the day, Shah met district and mandal-stage office bearers and chaired the assembly of the state center committee of the tamil Nadu BJP. He also provided prayers at the madurai Meenakshi temple.

The DMK hit again at Shah, alleging that crimes against girls in odisha were high since the bjp shaped the government in 2024 and stating that the struggle in Manipur turned into an instance of the bjp rule.

"These days, amit shah has unleashed a barrage of lies towards the DMK..." DMK's establishing secretary, RS Bharathi, stated. He also accused Shah of using the AIADMK as a puppet to grow in TN. "Plainly, amit shah has forgotten approximately the 2021 assembly elections. He campaigned for the use of BJP's annamalai and AIADMK's late stalwarts mgr and Jayalalithaa. There are numerous stories of bjp members campaigning without even mentioning Modi's name."
