Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Friday (July 28) hit out at Congress and its allies, including the DMK, stating that nothing would happen by changing the name of their alliance to I.N.D.I.A.

"When Congress and its allies, including the DMK, go to the people seeking votes, the public would remember the corruption, including the 2G scam and CommonWealth Games scam during the UPA regime, " Shah said while addressing a rally ahead of kick-starting Tamil Nadu BJP President K Annamalai's state-wide 'En Mann, En Makkal (My Land, My People)' padayatra.

"Congress-DMK and allies opposed the removal of Art 370; is Kashmir ours or not," he asked.

Hailing Prime Minister Narendra Modi for his Tamil pitch, Shah said that he honoured Tamil culture by installing the 'sengol' in the new parliament building.

The Home Minister described the DMK regime as the most corrupt in the country and said that the BJP yatra is an attempt to usher in politics of development and good governance in Tamil Nadu.

He named Congress and its allies one by one, including the DMK, Trinamool Congress and Shiv Sena (UBT), and accused them all of trying to empower their families and not the nation.

"Sonia Gandhi wants to make her son Rahul the Prime Minister, MK Stalin wants to make his son Udhayanidhi the Chief Minister,” he said.
