As Tamil Nadu braces for Assembly elections, BJP’s Tamilisai Soundararajan dropped a major update: the party’s manifesto draft is complete. In an IANS interview Thursday, she confirmed a high-level meeting is underway to polish the document, attended by top brass.
This session will debate and decide the manifesto’s highlights, from economic policies to social welfare. Soundararajan stressed the party’s dedication: ‘No shortcuts; we want a robust, people-centric agenda finalized by evening.’ Post-meeting, the draft heads to national leaders for the green light.
The leader also championed NDA’s secular credentials. ‘Our PM celebrates every festival, uniting the nation. Sadly, CM Stalin skips greetings for majority festivals, prioritizing minorities alone,’ she lamented. This, she argued, undermines true secularism, which demands fairness across communities.
On Congress, Soundararajan reacted sharply to Kharge’s Deve Gowda comment. ‘He loved Congress but married NDA—today, Congress is a sinking ship. Its workers have no hope left; veterans are defecting.’ Rahul Gandhi faced her ire too: a leader who’s flopped at rallying his base or leading effectively in Parliament.
BJP’s proactive manifesto move signals its intent to challenge the ruling DMK, promising equitable growth and cultural harmony in Tamil Nadu.
