Narendra Modi Meeting in Tiruchi,Tamil Nadu Thursday Sep 26,2013


Present at the meeting were BJP national president Rajnath Singh, RSS leaders of Dakshin and Uttar Tamil Nadu, BJP state president Pon. Radhakrishnan, party national spokesperson Nirmala Sitharaman, national general secretary P. Muralidhar Rao, Auditor S. Gurumoorthy, co-convenor of Swadeshi Jagran Manch and Hindu Munnani leader S. Ramagopalan



Narendra Modi began his speech by requesting the gathering to observe a two-minute silence as a mark of respect to Army jawans killed in the terrorist attack in Jammu Kashmir on Thursday, and Indian citizens who were victims of the terrorist siege of a mall in Nairobi.

Narendra Modi on Thursday Sep 26,2013 accused the Congress of being divisive by nature and called upon the country’s youth to throw out the UPA government which “has divided the country” in several ways since independence

Addressing a well-attended youth conference of the party here, the BJP’s Prime Ministerial candidate also questioned the relevance of holding talks with Pakistan at a time when “terrorists from across the border” were attacking Indian security forces.
“What is the priority of the Prime Minister? Should he be in such a hurry to confabulate with Pakistan leaders?”

Narendra Modi claimed that the Congress was divisive, he said: “This mentality is inherent in the Congress DNA. When people of the country were fighting for unity and freedom, the Congress divided the country. When the Constitution was framed, it caused more division by according special status to Jammu and Kashmir. It divided the States further on the basis of language.”

Quoting from poet Ramalingam Pillai, “Tamizhan endroru inam undu; Thaniye avarkkoru gunam undu,” (There is a race called Tamils; they have a unique character), Narendra Modi proceeded to draw parallels between the Tamil and Gujarati communities. He said Tamil fishermen were being attacked by the Sri Lankan Navy while Gujarati fishermen by the Pakistan Navy. He blamed the “weak government at the Centre” for the situation and called upon people to dislodge it


Though a major part of his nearly 65-minute speech was in Hindi(Hindi translation into Tamil by H Raja) Narendra Modi switched to English occasionally to drive home a point and even read out a few lines in Tamil eulogising Tamil Nadu and Tamilians.

Narendra Modi concluded his speech by asking the crowd to chant ‘Vande Mataram’ with raised hands in honour of those killed

Prior to attending the conference, Narendra. Modi spent a few minutes with the family members of Auditor Ramesh, BJP’s State general secretary,at SRM hotel on Race Course road, who was murdered at Salem in July 2013
