Union Minister of Commerce Piyush Goyal, on Friday, ahead of the Tamil Nadu Assembly elections, accused the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) of widespread corruption in the state. "The people of Tamil Nadu have decided that the government of MK Stalin must go. I challenge CM MK Stalin to announce that Udhayanidhi Stalin will not be made the Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu, because the people of Tamil Nadu do not want an anti-Tamil, anti-Tamil culture, anti-Tamil pride person like Udhayanidhi Stalin to become the Chief Minister," added Goyal. In a post on X, Stalin wrote, "Tamil Nadu Won't Bow Down. Tamil Nadu Assembly elections will go to the polls in a single phase on April 23, with counting scheduled for May 4.
