Tamil Nadu achieved historical growth by overcoming obstacles created by BJP-led centre: MK Stalin

Chennai: Chief minister MK Stalin on Friday hit out at Prime Minister Narendra Modi on the "double engine" remark and said it won't run in Tamil Nadu.

Taking strong exception to the comments by the PM at a rally of NDA in Maduranthakam, Stalin asked Modi to ponder how states such as Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Telangana, Karnataka and West Bengal, where the "double engine" has not entered, were registering growth.

"The double engine that the PM talks about will not run in Tamil Nadu... Tamil Nadu has achieved historical growth by overcoming all the obstacles created by BJP government at the Centre," Stalin posted on X.


"Think about it for a moment... more than the double engine states like Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh and Bihar that you talk about, Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Telangana, Karnataka, and West Bengal, where the double engine has not entered, are registering growth," Stalin said.
