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.
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.... If Hindi were to become the official language of India, Hindi-speaking people will govern us. We will be treated like third rate citizens
We want to be the alternative party in Tamil Nadu.
In all sectors, Tamil Nadu has outperformed Gujarat as the top state.
If people go out and start protests for everything, then entire Tamil Nadu will become a grave yard!
I was actually a top-order batsman when I played league cricket in Tamil Nadu. When I made my Ranji debut, I had to bat down the order.
While I will give my best for the benefit of Telangana, I will continue to remain a dear Tamil sister to all in Tamil Nadu.
As far as the Congress is concerned, we condemn any attempts to oppress the Dalits in strongest terms. If there are parties trying to fan the OBC-Dalit divide in Tamil Nadu, we need to collectively condemn them.
State unit of BJP will protect the rights of Tamil Nadu people and we will not back off from our attempts to bring glory to Tamil language.
My Hindi is OK. I think I am better with Tamil. I remember the Tamil words.
The Tamilians love me because I have done the most number of movies in Kollywood and have worked with all the top stars. I have even stayed in Chennai for a few years, and I have a strong connect with the city and the State of Tamil Nadu.
Our party is the upcoming alternative force in Tamil Nadu and both the ruling AIADMK and DMK are corrupt and both parties used money power to woo voters during Srirangam bypolls.
There is no concept of a Tamil nation. India is one nation, and Tamil Nadu is a part of that.
Tamil people are generally considered very intelligent. But there, politics runs in a different way. Movie stars have a larger-than-life image in Tamil Nadu, and people vote for that image.
Essentially, the BJP is nothing more than a north Indian party. Its mentality is also north Indian. They are quite capable of backtracking on the issues relating to Tamil Nadu if it suits them. But I will not allow that.
There was an agitation against Mumbai Express: because part of it is an English word. There is no Tamil word for Mumbai Express. I am sure all those who were against it, even they wouldn't say 'I love you' to their lovers in Tamil. Many don't even thank in Tamil.
