BJP president JP Nadda attended party's Pongal festival in Chennai on January 14.
During his address, Nadda said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi has been ensuring that Tamil Nadu takes a big leap as far as development is concerned.
He further compared the functioning of finance commission towards Tamil Nadu under UPA and PM Modi.
"PM Modi has tried to see to it that the whole country goes forward.
At the same time, he has made sure that Tamil Nadu takes a big leap as far as development is concerned.
The 13 finance commission during the UPA government gave Rs 94,000 crores to Tamil Nadu for the development.
But the same commission under PM Modi gave Tamil Nadu Rs 5 lakh 42,000 crores.
Mainstreaming and bringing people of Tamil Nadu in the front of the development have been the basic ethos on which PM Modi is working," said BJP president JP Nadda.
Bharatiya Janata Party MP from Arunachal Pradesh Tapir Gao on Tuesday claimed that it was during Congress' regime China occupied Sumdorong Chu Valley in Tawang and added that the then Army Chief planned an operation but former Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi denied him permission to push back People's Liberation Army troops. "Since the 80s till today, they (China) are occupying this area, and construction of villages is not a new thing. They have already constructed military base between Bisa and Maza which is inside McMahon Line, under Indian territory," Gao added. Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Tuesday hit out at Prime Minister Narendra Modi on the issue of national security after reports that China has built a village in Arunachal Pradesh, and said China needs to be given a clear message. He termed the situation with China as "very dangerous" and said India under Modi does not have any clear cut strategy on China, which is testing the country and will not sit silent.
