MDMK quits NDA

Charging Prime Minister Narendra Modi-led BJP government with betraying Tamil people by working with Sri Lankan government and pushing Hindutva agenda in Tamil Nadu, Vaiko-led MDMK on Monday quit the NDA. MDMK's decision comes days before BJP president Amit Shah is scheduled to visit the state on a two-day trip aimed at strengthening the party. Addressing media, Vaiko showered praises on the Vajpayee-led NDA government remarking, “Modi's BJP government is different from Vajpayee's BJP government.“
MDMK's decision also comes at a time when BJP men had called for the ouster of Vaiko's party in the wake of his criticism of Modi and his government. “We are very happy to quit the NDA.But we have no regret to join the alliance. We took the decision to join NDA hoping they would work for the interests of Tamils. But they betrayed us,“ Vaiko said.
