[Music] okay joining me is the dmk's MP from Central Chennai hoping to get re-elected you've been three times m is it more difficult this time your opponent say anti-incumbency is that anti-incumbency probably talking about anti-incumbency of a body so that's what we say because basically this time they more confident last time we won with the 3 lakh vote difference this time we we win more than 3 lakh no I know this is your Fortress and and I met Mr stent who said that there is no Modi Factor but you've been in Delhi Mr Modi is coming again and again to Tamil Nadu is there a Modi factor that we that you should be worried about we will be we are so happy that Modi is coming to campaign the more Camp is here we our margins will increase the hatred people have for it are you underestimating the Modi Factor Mr Modi could be increasing his popularity he has been raising Tamil Nadu issues he was seen in an interview in a vti the sing all at Parliament he's coming to temples in Tamil Nadu you're saying it has no impact all all is drama all is drama all [Applause] Isle must ask you this all this Dramatics thetics thetics doesn't work in Tamil Nadu because people look into it when we had fls he never visited Chennai then he came twice he came twice but never even he went and see affected people Tut wasn't Dr was was flooded he never came there but he went twice there toi to for another function but but M the two issues he raises family Raj in the DMK and Corruption he says DMK is a corrupt family Raj party right now we are only asking you why is there no inquiry on CAG 7.5 lakh crores there's a abuse there the CAG report has very clearly said on the highways highways there has been 240 per kilometer no but one of your ministers is in jail s Bachi several of your ministers are accused of disproportionate assets are you saying it's not an issue listen everyone knows Mod's alliances CBI Ed and income tax is a faras people do understand that moment they come and join Modi or BJP they become pure Wasing n takes place all I ask you 25 people cases were there 25 people 22 cases have been just going on dead two people what about there was a case on P because he's supporting Modi is is your friend he's my friend right now my political adversary what happened to AIT AIT had a r scam, V across now is a finance minister in Mumbai with the BJP what do you say about that what about family Raj you know the fact is UD the mar family all of you are family basically we all say is that DMK is tamad is a big family for us we we believe in that and one thing is people trust us since you have no other thing to attack us you're trying to do this ideology has become the family listen family private limited company nothing like that look at it what about jha what you control that is okaya can be there is you don't say anything about that no he's in CR I'm talking about politics politics one family he doesn't come from a family when you point one finger five four fingers are pointing back at you so let's go to something El no Mr the fact is that yall were a party that represented an ideology has the ideology been taken over by family when people decide to elect us we became representatives of people family doesn't matter that people trust us people want to be with us people respect us and people trust us do you think that though Tamil Nadu this time will see uh you know when you go to North India you can see the BJP as a dominant force of a Hindu Force when udidi raised the sanatan Dharma issue and spoke against sanatan Dharma it seemed that the BJP had said that you are an anti-hindu party and the India Alliance isti all we are trying to say that we need equality no one is superior by birth no one is downen by birth that is what we be we are for equality are you Hindu I'm a secular person did I ever say why do you I putting wordss to me are you anti-hindu say why are you putting no we when our particular thing says that I'm inferior by birth I don't accept that I feel everyone is equal by birth there there you are not Superior because you Bor in AP I'm not inferior because I B lower C that doesn't happen in land so you are going on against hierarchical Hindu you saying Hinduism cannot be hierarchal do not discriminate Me by birth because I born as a Sutra doesn't mean I'm lower everyone is equal what is the main issue then in Tamil Nadu this time Tamil Nadu is that we want development we are against [Music] we do not try to partisan people the name of religion because you are a Muslim you should not you should be oppressed that's not the way we we feel secularism everyone is free to practice their religion everyone is free to pursue the education the BJP calls it appeasement what you say secularism they say is appeasement that is BJP that's what they doing they do not allow anyone to get educated they all everyone they say you have to do what you your father did you should not change your profession but the upper class people can learn English and go and become Superior and make others feel inferior to what that doesn't happen we want in Davidian model talks about we everyone is equal everyone should be given equal opportunity for education and the whole entire Society should grow has that Davidian model enriched a few people like the Marans like the Kandi family and the majority of people have not been enraged see probably the fear in the apas is that the lower class people are now coming up today we have here in Dadu the highest rate of Education people are pursuing high education right know we are one of the best states in India because the de we made our women study we never said we never differentiated to say because you're a woman you should not study you should study you should your career are you making also this a battle between Delhi and Chennai you you don't want the neat exam for Tamil Nadu you are saying Delhi is oppressing Chennai are you trying to divide North versus South do you know something North versus South divide do you know do you know something earlier in Tamil Nadu or you know you have to learn Sanskrit to pursue medication medical education you in 60s one event we came said why do you need Sanskrit to pursue your educ medical education is there a north south divide are you playing a card of North versus South Deli versus Chennai Center versus Tamil Nadu I believe in Tamil Nadu I believe in ravan mod I believe believe in per I believe in Anna I believe in Kanger I believe Sal so basically we are very very clear what you feel cannot be applied here we we we threat the s for the entire country we have a program it's called liberate woman which is now being followed throughout the other states when the BJP raes issues like K and says DMK gave up an island to the Sri Lanka oh they are stupid narrative they always want to bring in a narrative all the Medias are supposed to put their because they're scared every media is not free just now for the first time I see the Delhi media come to meet the opposition till now always ask question everybody I'm not generalizing all the media in Delhi are petrified of Modi no generalize I have to generaliz I'm you you are generalizing me I'm generalizing but here we are very clear there is one fear some say of Anam Malai the rising star of the BJP is he the rising star who's that an Malai BJP Pres The Joker you're talking about the Joker are are you underestimating are you underestimating under are you overestimating he's a lame dug okay final question to you 40 seats on offer between Tamil Nadu and puducheri are you also saying all 40 or are you being a little overconfident this time there's a fight Aid DMK is also in the race Palani Sami is strengthening his party BJP is growing no longer quite a a clear race for you it's not a 40 out of 40 want a bet you want a bet you want a bet so what minute one minute I don't have as much money as talking you're talking okay okay I want okay I want to ask you one final question I know you're a fan of cricket and your brother kalidi owns IPL franchise which is Sunrisers Hyderabad who's going to win CSK or Sunrisers I'm always for CSK always for CSK yeah okay good luck thank you very much
