Mr. Stalin said people of “Hindi-speaking States underwent untold miseries” during the pandemic as they could not get “transport facilities to return to their hometowns.” “We had shed tears for them. They walked hundreds of kilometres. Some of them were even crushed by trains. If something is more dangerous than the Corona (virus), it is the BJP government. Now the government is trying to divert people’s attention by consecrating the Ram temple,” he said.

Recalling a viral video in which a Hindi-speaking boy demanded “education over temple”, the Chief Minister said the BJP government was particular that “people should not gain awareness”. “The people of north India are no longer ready to believe the politics of the BJP. It cannot win in northern States in the forthcoming Lok Sabha polls,” Mr. Stalin said.

      Is that kind of like how they find the next Dalai Lama as a kid who was already alive before the last one died?

      I was so confused when I read the headline. I had to check which community I was in. I thought maybe this was FakeHistoryPorn.
