Perambalur (Tamil Nadu) [India], April 16 (ANI): Bharatiya Janata Party president JP Nadda on Tuesday said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi has always given special treatment to the people of Tamil Nadu, adding that this state always remains in the heart of PM Modi.

Addressing a roadshow here, JP Nadda said, “PM Modi has always given special treatment to the people of Tamil Nadu. There is a special place for Tamil Nadu in the heart of PM Modi. 12,000 km of roads have been constructed in Tamil Nadu. Rs 48,000 crore have been given for national highways. Tamil Nadu is very special for PM Modi. On one hand, PM Modi is trying so that the people of Tamil Nadu move forward, make progress.”

He further called INDIA bloc a “group of politicians and parties who are utterly corrupt”.

“PM Modi says to remove corruption, and the INDI alliance says to save corrupt people and save corrupt parties. DMK means D-dynasty, M-money swindling, and K-‘Katta Panchayat’,” he said.
