Tamil Nadu CM Stalin meets PM Modi in Delhi

Earlier, Stalin called on President Droupadi Murmu and Vice President Jagdeep Dhankar and described the meeting, a courtesy visit, as satisfactory.

This is the first time the Chief Minister is visiting them after they assumed office. “I conveyed my greetings to them,” he told reporters in Delhi. Though he was invited, the Chief Minister said he could not take part in the swearing-in ceremony of Murmu and Dhankar due to circumstances.

The conversations he had with both the President and Vice President were cordial and it was on Tamil Nadu’s political scenario and ‘Aatchi sirappukkal’ (excellence in governance/ good governance).

Hence, Stalin said the meetings with the top two Constitutional authorities was satisfactory.

Recalling his earlier meetings with Modi in Delhi, Stalin said though several demands of Tamil Nadu flagged by him during such past visits were inching towards fulfillment, a host of other representations are yet to be taken up by the Centre.

“I am going to remind such representations and return to Chennai tonight,” he said.

On Tuesday, Stalin had said in Chennai that his visit to Delhi was aimed at getting requisite projects for the state.

In his capacity as the Chief Minister, he has the responsibility of securing necessary projects from the Centre for the welfare of Tamil Nadu and its people, he had said. There is a relationship between the Union and the State governments and not between the DMK and the BJP, Stalin had asserted.
