Stalin's big charge against PM Modi

CM Stalin was campaigning for Salem DMK candidate TM Selvaganapathy and Kallakurichi DMK candidate D Malaiyarasan in Salem when he hit back at Modi's remarks.

Stalin countered by alleging that the BJP has 261 leaders with criminal records, including history-sheeters. He questioned PM Modi's right to comment on law and order when such leaders are within his party. "When all the rowdies are in your (PM Modi) party, what right do you have to speak about law and order?" questioned Stalin showing a 32-page list of history-sheeters in the BJP.

Presenting a 32-page list of history-sheeters in the BJP, Stalin demanded evidence from PM Modi to support his claim of deteriorating law and order in Tamil Nadu.

Stalin further revealed that the BJP's leaders have a total of 1,977 cases against them.
