Chennai: BJP state president Dr. Tamilisai Soundararajan mocked DMK president M. K. Stalin wondering if he “woke up suddenly” to say that Prime Minister Narendra Modi took five years to release the ‘trailer.’
“Stalin says it took five years to bring this trailer. Mr. Stalin, this is the trailer for the fifth film. Already we celebrated silver jubilee for four films. When did you wake up from slumber? This (interim budget) is a trailer for the next films that we are going to make for five years to come,” Dr. Tamilisai sarcastically remarked.
On Feb. 1, Mr. Modi described the interim budget presented by Union Finance Minister Piyush Goyal as a “trailer of what will take India towards prosperity.”
Pointing out that the DMK president had termed the budget “as comedy” Dr. Tamilisai told reporters here that the peak of comedy was witnessed when Stalin went to West Bengal. “He was asked how he was conducting gram sabha meetings, it seems. Those who asked him the question were astonished to by his performance. So, astonished! This only shows that there were inexperienced leaders in Mamata Banerjee’s meeting,” she said.
Continuing in the same vein, the BJP leader remarked several persons had claimed that “Mr. Stalin was elevated to the top post in the party by his father because he visited village after village.” “Now he calls the budget comedy,” she said and added that during the DMK rule the theatres were monopolised by one family. “But this is a film that runs without any theaters,” she added.
