Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M K Stalin on Monday took a dig at Prime Minister Narendra Modi ahead of the upcoming polls, suggesting that repeated visits by the PM to the state would only increase the margin of defeat for the BJP.

Stalin’s remark came as political campaigning intensifies in Tamil Nadu, with national leaders stepping up their outreach in the run-up to voting.

The DMK leader’s comment was framed as a response to Modi’s frequent engagements in the state, positioning the contest as one where the ruling party in Tamil Nadu expects to retain an advantage.

The exchange adds to the sharpening rhetoric between the DMK and the BJP as parties seek to consolidate support and set the narrative before the electorate.
