May 23 results will send PM and TN CM home: CPI

The results of Lok Sabha elections and by-polls to 22 assembly constituencies in Tamil Nadu would change the fate of the state and send both Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Chief Minister K Palaniswami home, CPI State secretary R Mutharasan said Sunday.

Campaigning in support of Secular Progressive Alliance candidate and DMK's Pongalur N Palanisamy in Sulur near here, Mutharasan alleged Modi was pursuing only anti-people schemes like Sterlite, Methane projects in Tamil Nadu.

In this backdrop, he was not able to highlight the achievements of the government, instead seeking votes by talking ill of the family of Jawaharlal Nehru, who had sacrificed his life for the nation, he said.
