Coimbatore : The Lok Sabha elections and by-poll to 22 assembly constituencies will change the fate of Tamil Nadu and send both Modi and Padi (Edapadi K P Palanisamy) home, CPI State secretary R Mutharasan claimed on Sunday.

Campaigning in support of Secular Progressive Alliance candidate and DMK’s Pongalur N Palanisamy in Sulur, Mutharasan said that Prime Minister, Narendra Modi was pursuing only anti-people schemes.

Against this background, he was not able to highlight the achievements of the government. He was instead seeking votes by talking against the family of Jawaharlal Nehru, who had sacrificed their lives for the nation, he alleged.

Stating that Edapadi’s Government in Tamil Nadu was supporting the Centre and Modi, he said the people had therefore decided to send ‘Modi and Padi’ home on May 23 when the results are out, he said.
