BJP is spreading lies, CM Stalin said

Chennai: Chief Minister MK Stalin on Friday said the BJP is unable to tolerate the achievements of the DMK government and hence is spreading lies on temple properties in the state.
Speaking at a wedding here, Stalin said, “I condemn Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman for her recent comment that Hindu temples are being looted by the HR&CE department. I would like to emphasize that till now temple property worth Rs 5,500 crore has been taken back by the DMK government. If these leaders have true piety, they should praise our government. However, they are trying to deceive people under the guise of piety.

It may be noted that HRD and CE Minister PK Shekharbabu had given a detailed reply to Sitharaman’s remarks that temple properties were being looted, and the Chief Minister had also responded.

Without naming any person, Stalin said, “A retired IPS officer is spreading false news through his official WhatsApp account. All these people are trying to topple the Dravidian model government.’ I am requesting all of you attending this wedding and all the people of Tamil Nadu to end their efforts in view of the upcoming parliamentary elections. “
