Tirupur: Clad in Veshti, the traditional attire of Tamil Nadu, Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed BJP party cadres at Perumanallur in Tirupur on Sunday.
Around 20,000 cadres were part of the meeting during which the PM was highly critical of the opposition party. He mocked the DMK-Congress alliance as a ‘family pack’.
“Well, we have heard of the term family pack in ice creams and mobile recharge but the Congress-DMK alliance is also a family pack. Indeed, it was them who have introduced ‘family bails’ in recent times”, he said.
Claiming to have introduced an array of schemes for the upliftment of the MSEs in the region, Modi asserted that his government has reformed GST tax slabs for the welfare of the MSEs.
He hailed the city of Tirupur “as a land of enterprise, not only for its contribution in textiles, Tirupur is a land of warriors. The exemplary contribution of spirited freedom fighters like Dheeran Chinnamalai and Tirupur Kumaran will be remembered for years to come. The region’s export of T-shirts has placed India in the global map. In fact, the trending NaMo t-shirts were also printed in Tirupur”, he noted.
The PM alleged that “The UPA government is trying to lure people by fake promises especially to the farming community. Why to believe in false promises when the NDA government is already very keen in promoting agricultural sector?”
The BJP meeting stage was shared by Coir Chairman, CP Radhakrishnan, State President, Tamilisai Soundarajan, National General Secretary H. Raja and State Secretary Vanathi Srinivasan.
Earlier, the PM took part in the Bhoomi Pooja of the 60 bedded ESI hospital near Perumanallur in the presence of Tamil Nadu CM, Edapadi K Palanisamy and Ministers of State government.
