Addressing party workers at Kangeyam, he said, “Whenever PM Narendra Modi travels to a state, he never forgets about Tamil Nadu, Chief Minister MK Stalin and me. While campaigning for Madhya Pradesh elections last week, he talked about me alone.
He said so many things which I didn’t say and spread false information and rumours. Speaking at a recent public conference in Chennai about social justice and equality among people, I said all obstacles must be removed for the welfare of society. But he twisted the statement and said I will carry out a genocide. A case has been filed in the courts, but I refused to apologise or express regret for my comments.”
Further, Udhayanidhi said, “The union government is always biased towards Tamil Nadu. For the past 9 years, Tamil Nadu contributed Rs 5 lakh crore as tax to the centre, but the union government offered just Rs 2 lakh crore. But at the same time, the union government gave around Rs 9 lakh crore to Uttar Pradesh. Such basic rights of the state were denied. We have to question the act and raising questions about them is our right.”
