Amit lashed out all political rivals in the speech.
Attacking AIADMK, DMK and Congress for practising politics of "corruption", BJP chief Amit Shah on Wednesday sought to pitch his party as an alternative in Tamil Nadu.
He alleged that AIADMK and DMK, which have ruled the state for decades, have "pulled down" the development graph and urged the people of Tamil Nadu to vote for NDA to usher in politics of development. Addressing an election rally here, Shah referred to various allegations of corruption against the two Dravidian parties besides BJP's arch-rival, Congress.
He charged that DMK, AIADMK and Congress are "corrupt" and they do not "know anything other than corruption." "DMK (is facing allegations) in 2G spectrum allocation and aircel-maxis.. how many scams are there against DMK," he said.
Targeting senior Congress leader and former Union Finance Minister P Chidambaram, Shah said he and his son Karti "were also facing charges," in an apparent reference to the Aircel-Maxis deal.
Shah, who had last month called the AIADMK dispensation the "most corrupt government in the country," referred to the disproportionate assets case against its supremo and Chief Minister J Jayalalithaa, now being heard in the Supreme Court. "In AIADMK, there is a disproportionate assets case against Jayalalithaa," he said.
"The voters of Tamil Nadu have to decide in these Assembly polls if they wish to continue with politics of corruption and nepotism or they want to move to politics of development. The other three parties in the fray - be it AIADMK, DMK or the Congress-- there are corruption cases against their leaders and they have been exploiting the state's citizens. On the other hand, it has been two years since BJP government has been in power at the Centre but there is not even one allegation of corruption," he said.
Shah said in the last 50 years, if the people have been upset with AIADMK government, they have voted for DMK and if they have been unhappy with DMK, they have chosen AIADMK. "The voters of Tamil Nadu have not voted to elect a new government but they have primarily voted to oust the old government.
"There is no difference between the DMK and AIADMK. Both parties are corrupt, they have caused immense loss to Tamil Nadu and pulled down the state's development graph," he said. The Assembly election in the state will be held on May 16.
Noting that the nation's voters gave a "new direction" to the country's politics by electing a government with full majority under Narendra Modi in the 2014 Lok Sabha elections, Shah said a similar change is needed in Tamil Nadu and instead of replacing AIADMK with DMK, people should elect a good government. "I urge the state's voters to give one opportunity to the BJP-led NDA coalition," he said.
