We will go to every part of Tamil Nadu and tell the people that Hindi is coming and that it is like a thunder strike on the heads of Tamil and Dravidian people....

We say only the BJP can be the alternative force in Tamil Nadu. Our party is providing good governance in many States in the country and we are confident of repeating this success in Tamil Nadu also.

I requested people to strengthen my hands with a view to ensuring justice for Tamil Nadu and its due rights.
I don't think I ever went away. I have been very much here and the people of Tamil Nadu realise that the state can progress only if I'm there.
Amid all the horror films releasing in Tamil Nadu, 'Uyire Uyire,' with its focus on romance, will be a relief.
We want to be the alternative party in Tamil Nadu.
