Kickstarting the National Democratic Alliance’s (NDA) Assembly election campaign from Madurantakam in Tamil Nadu on Friday (January 23, 2026), Prime Minister Narendra Modi hit out at the ruling DMK, and said the countdown for its exit has begun and a “double-engine NDA government” will be formed in the State.

Mr. Modi took several jibes at the DMK, saying the party has betrayed the trust of people and alleged it is involved in corruption.
“You gave DMK a full majority twice, but they broke the trust of the people of Tamil Nadu. DMK made heaps of promises but delivered zero work. People are now calling the DMK government the CMC government. CMC government means a government that promotes ‘Corruption, Mafia, and Crime.’ The people of Tamil Nadu have now made up their minds to uproot both DMK and CMC. Here, a double-engine NDA government is certain to come to power,” the Prime Minister claimed.
