TN Will Forever Be 'Out of Control' for Delhi, Says Stalin

CHIEF Minister MK Stalin, in a belligerent attack on the BJP, said the party's "formula" of forming governments in states by breaking up political parties and intimidating politicians through "raids" will never work in Tamil Nadu and the "Dravidian model" government of the DMK will return to power in 2026.

Asserting that the Tamils have a distinct character and self-respect that never allowed domination, he said they will never bow to those in Delhi. "Our Tamil Nadu will forever be 'out of control' for Delhi," he said, while speaking at a government function in Ponneri in Tiruvallur district on Friday. Alleging that the BJP has threatened some to forge an alliance in TN, he challenged the party for a fight in 2026 and asked it to bring its "parivar".

Contending that the BJP would intimidate with the central agencies at their disposal, Stalin said the Tamils are not slaves to submit to such threats. "Not Amit Shah, but no Shah can rule Tamil Nadu because this is Tamil Nadu," he said.
