Stalin, also president of ruling DMK, said the state moved the Supreme Court and got a ‘historic verdict against the state’s Governor because he “didn’t do anything,” referring to the apex court’s verdict on assent to bills enacted by the state’s Assembly.This was “DMK’s power” and it has been realised across the country, he said.He further asked Shah: “Can you say you can give NEET exemption, can you assure Hindi won’t be imposed, can you list out the (central) funds given to Tamil Nadu and can you assure (Parliamentary) representation won’t decline due to delimitation.If what we are doing is diversion, why haven’t you given clear answers to people of Tamil Nadu on these issues,” Stalin asked the union minister.Amit Shah had on April 11 mounted an attack against the DMK, accusing it of raking up issues like delimitation and 3-language policy to divert attention from serious issues and warned people will seek answers from its leadership over “rampant corruption.”With Shah stitching up an alliance with the opposition AIADMK and exuding confidence of the NDA winning the 2026 polls, Stalin said that can never happen.”Tamil Nadu will never subjugate to Delhi, we have such a unique character. Your formula of breaking parties in other states through raids and intimidation will not work in Tamil Nadu,” he said.He accused BJP ministers, including Shah of speaking ill of Tamils in the past.”Tamil land is a soil of self respect and valour, has never allowed domination,” he said.”We are not the slaves who will cave in to intimidation. Not just Amit Shah, no Shah can rule us, this is Tamil Nadu,” the CM said.
