Exhorting the leaders of the INDIA bloc to continue their protest firmly, he said, “If Modi comes to power again, the democratic and constitutional characteristics of India would be uprooted. Please take this message to the masses.””Let us not forget that we can defeat Modi only through our unity! The formation of alliance has proceeded smoothly in many states. Talks pending in states shall be finalized soon so that we can start our campaign promptly. Only the votes of the people can put a full stop to the BJP’s fascist rule,” Stalin said.He also expressed his strong condemnation, both personally and on behalf of the DMK, for the “unlawful arrest” of Kejriwal.He said the arrests of Soren and Kejriwal cannot dislodge the INDIA bloc.”Instead, they only strengthen our resolve. When the going gets tough, the tough get going. We are witnessing the same in all states,” he asserted.”Until a few months ago, the BJP was arrogant, believing they would win the elections somehow. However, each day, they are moving closer to defeat,” he claimed, adding that the BJP has now resorted to unleashing their agenda, such as the Citizenship (Amendment) Act, Uniform Civil Code, and Ram temple, while hoping to save their “sinking ship”.But none of these measures are helping, Stalin said.”Hence, they have turned to arresting leaders of the INDIA bloc. This reflects the BJP’s growing desperation in the face of imminent defeat. The arrest of Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal is a clear indication of this desperation.”Stalin also noted that the BJP is well aware that Kejriwal’s electoral campaign would draw a huge crowd and reception and that is why Prime Minister Modi has got him arrested to halt his campaigning.
