The BJP has accused the DMK and the Congress of speaking against Sanatan Dharma, with the aim of diverting attention from the alleged misdeeds of the MK Stalin-led government in Tamil Nadu. The BJP claims that the DMK and Congress are trying to build a negative narrative against the BJP, as its popularity grows in Tamil Nadu. The BJP further alleges that the DMK and Congress are communal parties that are disrupting peace and harmony in the country, while the BJP is for all religions.
