DMK should not be in power for 'Viksit' Bharat & TN: State BJP chief Annamalai

Chennai, Aug 15 (IANS) Tamil Nadu BJP President, K. Annamalai, said on Thursday that the BJP government needs to be unseated from power for creating a 'Viksit' Bharat and a 'Viksit' state.

He added that only by eradicating the DMK rule will lead Tamil Nadu towards development.

He was addressing party cadres at state BJP headquarters, 'Kamalalalyam', on Thursday after inaugurating their two-wheeler rally with national flags as part of the Independence Day celebrations.

The BJP leader said that Tamil Nadu should regain its lost glory and it should move on the path of development.
