The government deprived the poor by handing over these nutrition kits to the private company. He further said, “I live in Delhi, but my ears are engaged in Tamil Nadu. The Chief Minister here says that Amit Shah cannot beat DMK. Stalin Saheb is right, I cannot beat DMK, but the people of Tamil Nadu can defeat DMK.”
