During a public rally in Tiruchirappalli, Tamil Nadu, on March 11, Congress MP Manickam Tagore stated that Prime Minister Narendra Modi has ceased “insulting the people of Tamil Nadu” by opting to speak in English instead of Hindi. This remark came as Tagore expressed his belief in the chances of the INDIA alliance in the upcoming elections, framing the contest as a matter of safeguarding Tamil Nadu’s dignity. He asserted that the BJP and the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) would face a significant defeat in the state, suggesting that Modi’s rally was unsuccessful and indicative of a broader sentiment against the NDA.
