DMK candidates mock Modi; ask him to campaign in their constituencies

Chennai: Continuing its scathing criticism against the opposition parties ahead of the assembly elections scheduled to be held on April 6, Tamil Nadu’s Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) has now come up with yet another innovative way to further its attack.
On Friday, several candidates of DMK took to Twitter urging Prime Minister Narendra Modi to campaign in their constituencies to help them ‘widen their winning margin’. It is party’s sarcastic jibe hinting that victory margins of DMK candidates will increase in seats where the PM campaigns.

Meanwhile, DMK candidates from across Tamil Nadu are mocking the unpopularity of BJP in the state and asking PM Modi to campaign in their respective constituencies to ensure their victory. #TamilNaduElections #DMK #BJP pic.twitter.com/Gn3G520lu9 — Shilpa (@Shilpa1308) April 2, 2021 Ingenious use of sarcasm by DMK. Very Tamil-style நக்கல், or could even pass for வஞ்சப்புகழ்ச்சியணி. pic.twitter.com/mmz5cbOOwb — Karthik 🇮🇳 (@beastoftraal) April 2, 2021 The candidates’ tweets come in the backdrop of the Prime Minister campaigning in Tamil Nadu for Bharatiya Janata party (BJP) and All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (AIADMK).
The DMK has been banking on public anger towards many policies adopted by the BJP-led central government and is asking people not to vote for the AIADMK, BJP’s ally in the state.
