During a party workers' meeting in Udhagamandalam, Tamil Nadu, Girish Chodankar (Congress in-charge for Tamil Nadu) criticized the Bharatiya Janata Party's (BJP) election manifesto, labeling it as 'fake'. He drew attention to the BJP's past promises, particularly the controversial pledge to deposit ₹15 lakh (approximately $18,000 USD) into each citizen's bank account, a promise made during the campaign to bring back black money from abroad. Chodankar, originally from Goa, also pointed out that the BJP had failed to deliver on its promise of providing three free LPG cylinders to residents in his state, which remains unfulfilled four years later. His remarks underscore the ongoing political rivalry in Tamil Nadu as the state approaches its assembly elections.
