The BJP national secretary said that the government at the Centre would not tolerate forces that are trying to divide the nation and that they would deal with such persons with an iron hand.
Water scheme
On the Avinashi – Athikadavu Scheme, he said that linking rivers would be the only solution for the water crisis in Tamil Nadu.
