The North vs South debate has been on the rounds for an extended, rising stronger with Tamil Nadu Chief Minister’s son Udhayanidhi Stalin’s touch upon Sanatan Dharma the place he in contrast it with “dengue”.
After the Bharatiya Janata Celebration gained landslide victories in Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, and Rajasthan, one other DMK chief, DN Senthilkumar stated that the saffron get together can solely change into victorious in “gau mutra states.”
Referring to the current feedback made by Maran, Poonawala requested if leaders like Nitish Kumar, Lalu Prasad Yadav, and Akhilesh Yadav would ever take a stand over such feedback.
In the meantime, DMK leaders aren’t the one ones who’ve stoked the North vs South debate. In 2022, for example, Congress chief Priyanka Gandhi former Punjab Chief Minister Charanjit Singh Channi stated that Punjabis ought to unite and never let “bhaiye from Bihar and UP” rule the state.
Equally, in 2021, Congress MP Rahul Gandhi stated that he used a “totally different sort of ballot technique” earlier than the Kerala Meeting elections than what he employed in Amethi.
