Senior BJP leader and Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh Sunday slammed the DMK-Congress front in Tamil Nadu, saying it was not a progressive alliance, but a 'corrupt' and 'unholy' combine which would end in a 'disaster'.
Canvassing votes for Perambalur Lok Sabha constituency candidate Sivapathy of AIADMK here, he said, "in the Congress-DMK alliance, many people are on bail or in jail. It was not a progressive alliance but a corrupt alliance".
DMK is leading the Secular Progressive Alliance in the state which also comprises the Congress and the Left parties among others, while the BJP is part of the AIADMK-led front for the April 18 Lok Sabha elections in Tamil Nadu.
The Congress was trying to get a foothold in Tamil Nadu through the "backdoor" by stitching alliances with the Dravidian parties after being totally rejected by the people several decades ago, he said.
"The anti-democratic Congress has been chased out of Tamil Nadu several decades ago. And this election will see that it is swept clean out of the state", he said, referring to the ouster of the Congress in 1967.
Pointing to the dismissal of DMK governments by the Congress misusing article 356 of the Constitution in the past, Singh said "Their alliance is not only opportunistic but unholy."
