CHENNAI: Chief Minister M K Stalin on Tuesday said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi was functioning ‘mysteriously’ like he belonged to the opposition and Congress was the ruling party.
Interacting with media persons at the city airport upon his return from Spain, Stalin said, “I watched, read, enjoyed and smiled.”
He was asked if he had watched the speech made by the Prime Minister in the Parliament.
“Since the moment he formed the government, the Prime Minister has been functioning as if the BJP was the opposition party and Congress was the ruling party. He has been attacking the Congress as if it were the ruling party and he belonged to the Opposition. It remains a mystery.”
Asked about the PM claiming that the BJP led National Democratic Alliance (NDA) would win 400 seats in the ensuing Parliamentary polls, he said, “Only 400? As many as 543 seats are available. Cannot be surprised if he claimed that they would win it all.”
