Chennai: The BJP in Tamil Nadu flayed MDMK founder Vaiko for holding a black flag demo against PM Narendra Modi during his Madurai visit, saying it was done for his own “promotion”. The protest was not reflective of the people’s sentiments, BJP state unit President Tamilisai Soundararajan said.
Modi’s visit was aimed at the development of southern Tamil Nadu, she said and questioned what Vaiko had done for the region in the past as an MP. Led by Vaiko, MDMK cadres had on Sunday staged the protest against Modi at Madurai, accusing him of betraying the interests of Tamil Nadu.
