In order to widen their winning margin, the DMK candidates in Tamil Nadu contesting in the April 6 Assembly Polls, have been requesting Prime Minister Narendra Modi to campaign in their constituencies in favour of AIADMK-alliance candidates.
Several DMK candidates, in an identical-worded tweet, while changing the name of the constituency, have tweeted their request and asked PM Modi to campaign for their rivals.
DMK candidate R.S. Rajakannappan tweeted: "Dear Prime Minister @narendramodi, please campaign in Muthukulathur. I am the DMK candidate here and it will help me in widening my winning margin. Thank you sir."
In 2019 elections, the DMK and its allies won 38 out of 39 Lok Sabha seats on the anti-Modi plank at a time when the BJP swept the polls in other parts of the country.
Even now, the DMK and its allies are continuing with the anti-Modi electioneering for the April 6 Tamil Nadu Assembly polls. Sarcastically tagging Modi in their tweets is part of their election campaign. Meanwhile, PM Narendra Modi is expected to hold a rally and address a gathering in poll-bound Kerala and Tamil Nadu.
In addition, there were reports of IT raids at DMK Chief Stalin’s son-in-law’s premises in Chennai and at other four places. The raids came a day after Stalin’s son countered BJP in a rally in Coimbatore by saying there is no check on the growing assets of Union Home Minister Amit Shah’s son. While the whole country went into lockdown last year and suffered huge losses, while Amit Shah’s son profits grew like anything.
