On a visit to Chennai, the leader of the Opposition in Karnataka Assembly who called on Tamil Nadu chief minister M K Stalin, claimed that the BJP could not succeed in capturing power in Tamil Nadu because of the “strong fort” raised in the state hinging on the ideologies of Ambedkar and Periyar. The DMK and several parties are doing it and that’s why the BJP could not enter Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh, Telangana and Kerala,” he said. This is what I have heard and what I read.” Responding to a query on the Ambedkar Sudar award conferred on him by the Viduthalai Chiruthaigal Katchi, a political party in Tamil Nadu, the former chief minister of Karnataka replied, “I am very very happy to receive this prestigious award.” Read all the Latest News, Trending News, Cricket News, Bollywood News, India News and Entertainment News here.
