01:57And my colleague Apoorva is now joining us with more details on this.
02:01Apoorva, the BJP has attacked the Chief Minister and Leader of Opposition, Udhanadi Stalin,
02:05saying that these two have insulted Hindu goddesses.
02:07Give us more context to this.
02:09What are the remarks that were made and the allegation by the BJP?
02:13Well, that's right. In fact, if you do see, these are sensitive comments that have been made
02:18by BJP State President of Tamil Nadu, Nainar Nagindra.
02:23In fact, he has gone on and spoken this on the lines when just a couple of days back
02:28when the Leader of Opposition, Udhanadi Stalin, had gone ahead and said these specific words,
02:35Om Kali, Jay Kali, in his election campaign speech there.
02:38Remember, the Biphones are coming ahead in both Madhurantakam and Tarapurum.
02:43At this stage, both the TDK Chief and Tamil Nadu State President, Joseph T. Vijay,
02:50Chief Minister, I'm sorry, Joseph T. Vijay has gone ahead and also talked about Om Shakti, Parashakti.
02:57You know, so all of these slogan hearings that is going on by either the Chief Minister
03:03or by the Leader of Opposition has drawn a lot of flags from the BJP.
03:07And that's what you can see from the statements made by BJP State President Nainar Nagindra.
03:12In fact, he goes on and states that calling and recalling the names of J. Vijay, Shafi or Kali
03:20and making such cheap slogans there definitely does rise questions.
03:25He's in fact gone ahead and slammed both the PNP and the TDK saying for parties that you so-called
03:31say are secular.
03:32Is this how you treat Hindu deities and goddesses is what Nainar Nagindra has gone ahead and slammed?
03:38No, but this comes to the time when these kind of slogan hearings are just increasing between the TVK and
03:43the DMK
03:44as the Biphones are just around the corner.
03:47Absolutely, Apoorva. Thank you so much for all those details and for that context.
03:51So, the BJP ahead of the Biphones has attacked both the TVK and the DMK.
03:56The BJP has attacked the Chief Minister and as well as the leader of opposition over insulting the Hindu deities
04:02and is questioning that will the approach be the same with other religions as well.
