CHENNAI/TRICHY: Congress MP Rahul Gandhi on Saturday kicked off his campaign for the Tamil Nadu assembly polls with an attack on PM Modi and Union minister Amit Shah, saying they “want to rule the state from Delhi” through AIADMK. “They want a CM who can take orders from Delhi,” he said while campaigning in Tiruvallur, Ranipet and Trichy. “BJP wants to remove Stalin as CM at all costs and replace him with a puppet in AIADMK. The historic party’s soul has been captured by BJP,” he said. Rahul accused BJP and RSS of waging a war on Tamil Nadu, its language and culture, and said he won’t allow that to happen. “They don’t know what Tamil means to people of the state. Brothers in DMK and the INDIA bloc are protecting Tamil from their assault,” he said.
