Global community in praise of Dravidian model in TN: Stalin

MADURAI: While the global community has come out in praise and admiration for this Dravidian rule in Tamil Nadu and State government’s achievements and legacy, somebody is thinking to weaken and divide the country.

Even they could not tolerate the people friendly-government, which has signaled its determination under the system of ‘Dravidian Model’ for the welfare of people in Tamil Nadu, Chief Minister MK Stalin said after unveiling the statue of former CM M. Karunanidhi at Nagercoil in Kanniyakumari district on Tuesday.

Even more such ones were trying to bring disrepute to the ruling party anyhow to topple the government.

During this ongoing 22-month period of Dravidian Model rule, the government is rendering its people considerably good governance and nobody else could either hide or deny the truth.

Further addressing, Stalin said the DMK-led front, which he also termed as the ‘United Progressive Alliance’ (UPA), runs off a streak of victories and the opposition could not tolerate it and hence they were involved in divisive politics.
