What did Chirag Paswan say?

Union Minister Chirag Paswan said, “There are some leaders who want to remain in the headlines with their statements and whose politics runs only on divide and rule. The work of dividing is sometimes done in the name of caste, in the name of religion, sometimes on the basis of language and sometimes on the basis of region… In such a situation, the NDA alliance under the leadership of Prime Minister Modi is moving forward with only one thought – Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas. Now the schemes and policies that are being made are based only on the welfare of the country. There is population…”

MP Arun Bharti said, “The people of North India who are working in Tamil Nadu are eating away their hard-earned money. The honorable minister who has been accused of corruption… is eating away the rights of the people of Tamil Nadu, no such thing is being done by North Indians…”

‘This time DMK’s annihilation is certain in Tamil Nadu’

Bihar government minister Santosh Kumar Suman said, “This is an example of mental bankruptcy. There is nothing more than this. Such people should be sent to a mental asylum. Bihar is the pride of India, we are proud to be Biharis.”

Union Minister Giriraj Singh said, “Congress is running the government in Tamil Nadu. North Indians are being abused. Rahul Gandhi should answer this. Are they creating discrimination in this country? The Congress party is becoming a party that speaks the language of Pakistan and China.”
