According to a report in NDTV, Kasturi Paati said that she did not realise she had been called for acting. In what can be termed as a comedy of errors, an old lady has featured simultaneously in the election ads of both Dravidian arch-rivals – DMK and AIADMK.
She also said, “Firstly they did not tell me it is for AIADMK”.
Modi, who expressed joy on being informed that he was the “first” Prime Minister to visit this part of Tamil Nadu, thanked the crowd for turning up to “bless” him and the party candidates.
Addressing a BJP election rally at Kanyakumari this evening, he said the previous UPA government was indulging in various scams ranging from 2G, coal and procurement of chopper. Goyal, who had earlier created a flutter with his Chief Minister “Jayalalithaa is inaccesible” remarks, made similar allegations against DMK President M Karunanidhi, saying the two parties were run by “leaders who are disconnected” with people. The entire country knows about it. “Nowadays you see on television channels and newspapers…they took money even for purchase of helicopters as well”. Of this, 30,000 homes had already been constructed, he said.
However, the situation was not so in BJP-ruled states as they were focused on power generation, employment creation and ensuring other basic amenities like education and health care, Modi said.
Besides, the Modi government had got an assurance from the Lankan leadership that fishermen violating the maritime boundary would not be fired at by its Navy.
