Amit Shah accuses DMK of dumping waste in sacred rivers, calls them corrupt, and predicts NDA win in Tamil Nadu's 2026 polls.

Union Home Minister Amit Shah accused the DMK government in Tamil Nadu of accepting biomedical waste from other states and disposing of it in sacred rivers, calling the DMK the "most corrupt" government and alleging religious "atrocities" against Hindus. He cited past remarks by DMK leaders equating Sanatana Dharma to diseases and criticized restrictions on Hindu religious events. Shah denied the NDA is anti-Tamil, highlighting Tamil-language civil service exams, and predicted an NDA victory in the April 2026 assembly elections through a coalition with AIADMK and regional allies, urging Tamil Nadu to support Prime Minister Modi’s vision for a developed India.
