Amid political tensions in Tamil Nadu, Union Minister Piyush Goyal launched a scathing attack on the INDI alliance. Goyal's remarks came soon after the Constitution (131st Amendment) Bill's failure in the Lok Sabha, which he attributed to the misconduct of the Congress-DMK partnership, labeling them as anti-women and anti-Tamil pride.

In his fiery criticism, Goyal accused the alliance of denying political participation for women, further highlighting Prime Minister Narendra Modi's advocacy for women's rights. He asserted that the negative actions of DMK and Congress have hurt Tamil Nadu's sentiments and declared that the state's people will reject the leadership of figures like Udhayanidhi Stalin.

Goyal also condemned the corruption alleged within the family of CM MK Stalin, pointing to the betrayal of promises to the tea industry workers in Ooty and Nilgiris. This political controversy unfolds as Tamil Nadu prepares for elections on April 23.
