Madurai/UNI: Continuing his salvos against the opposition parties, BJP National President J.P. Nadda said that the Congress, DMK and other parties in the opposition INDI alliance are corrupt.

Addressing an election meeting in this temple town last night ahead of the April 19 single phase polling, he highlighted various welfare schemes brought to Tamil Nadu by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, while reiterating his charge that the Congress and DMK and other parties in INDIA bloc were dynastic and corrupt parties.

Canvassing votes for Virudhunagar Lok Sabha constituency candidate Radikaa Sarathkumar at Tirumangalam in Madurai district, he said Modi, if elected for the third term, will make the country the third largest economy in the world by 2027.

Even as several big economies of the world like that of the United States., Europe, Japan and Australia witnessed a slump due to COVID-19 and Russia-Ukraine war, India took a big leap from the 11th position to the 5th spot in the world, he said, adding, people who were using 'Made in China' mobile phones were now using those 'Made in India'.

Similarly, the growth in electronics manufacturing and its exports had grown manifold. The country was seeing good growth in steel manufacturing and export of petrol chemical goods.

Under the Modi Government, the needs of people of all sections of society, including the poor, marginalised, women, youth, farmers and dalits, were taken care of.

The benefits of PM Garib Kalyan Anna yojana reached 80 crore people in the country, including 3.6 crore in Tamil Nadu under which the people were getting 5 kg of rice or wheat and one kg of pulse free of cost. “This has helped 25 crore people come out of poverty in the country,” he said.

People had also benefited under the PM-Kisan scheme, Ujjwala scheme, Jal Jeevan scheme and Ayushman Bharat scheme.

"Mr. Modi gave 11 medical colleges to Tamil Nadu," he said, adding that a lot of development had taken place in Tamil Nadu.

However, the Congress and DMK and other parties in the INDIA bloc were dynastic and corrupt parties.

The Prime Minister had promised to remove all corrupt leaders and put them in jail.

Many leaders of the opposition parties were either on bail or in jail. People should support the BJP, if they want to see the corrupt leaders in jail.
