Congress Leader Hariprasad Criticizes BJP's Santosh Over Tamil Nadu Politics

B.K. Hariprasad, a senior Congress leader and MLC, criticized B.L. Santosh, BJP national general secretary, on Friday, saying his remarks on Tamil Nadu politics were the 'biggest joke of the decade'. Santosh had earlier stated on social media that the Congress would end up with 'egg on its face' in Tamil Nadu, prompting Hariprasad to respond that the BJP is 'politically insignificant' in the state.

Hariprasad alleged that Tamil Nadu has rejected the BJP's 'communal politics, Hindi imposition, and divide-and-rule agenda'. He emphasized that the people of Tamil Nadu will decide their future, not 'Delhi's propaganda machinery'.

The exchange between the two leaders highlights the political tensions in Tamil Nadu.

The BJP and Congress are expected to continue their political campaigns in the state, with the Congress seeking to maintain its influence and the BJP aiming to gain ground. The immediate next steps will involve both parties intensifying their efforts to sway public opinion in their favor.
