Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin accused the BJP-led central government of diverting a business investment of Rs 6,000 crore from Coimbatore to Gujarat.
Stalin made these claims during an election rally in Coimbatore, alongside Congress leader Rahul Gandhi. Stalin criticized the BJP, stating that a major company from Tamil Nadu was ready to invest in Coimbatore, but was forced to shift to Gujarat due to threats.
Stalin also highlighted the negative impact of two major government decisions on Coimbatore: demonetisation and the implementation of the Goods and Service Tax (GST). He claimed these moves had severely affected businesses in the city.
The Chief Minister emphasized the alliance between the DMK and Congress, portraying the Congress as crucial to what he called the nation's "second freedom struggle." He stated that DMK stands united with Congress, particularly in the face of upcoming Lok Sabha elections.

Stalin's comments followed recent criticisms from Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who accused the DMK-led Tamil Nadu government of divisive politics and corruption. Modi referred to Congress and DMK as "family" parties, suggesting they prioritize personal interests over state development.
Stalin's accusations against the BJP government highlight a contentious issue of investment diversion from Coimbatore. His emphasis on the DMK-Congress alliance reflects a strategy to counter BJP criticisms and portray the alliance as vital for the state's progress. These political exchanges indicate the intensity of the election campaign in Tamil Nadu, with both sides presenting contrasting views on development and governance.
