Launching a scathing attack on the DMK government, BJP leader and Union Home Minister Amit Shah said on Sunday (January 4, 2026) that if there was one most corrupt State government in the country, “it is unfortunately the one in Tamil Nadu”.

The DMK government had “failed” on all fronts and was the only government that had implemented “very few” election promises, he said in Pudukottai. Speaking at the conclusion of BJP State president Nainar  Nagenthran’s ‘Tamizhagam Thalai Nimira Tamizhanin Payanam’ road show, he alleged that there was no guarantee for the safety of women in Tamil Nadu.

According to him, the DMK government’s sole objective was to make Chief Minister M.K. Stalin’ son and DMK leader Udhayanidhi Stalin the next Chief Minister. “Time has come to wipe out the family rule in Tamil Nadu,” Mr. Shah said, addressing a large gathering.
