Tamil Nadu Vijay CM Oath Ceremony Live Updates: Congress’s identity is that of a parasitic party, says PM Modi
Prime Minister Narendra Modi launched a scathing attack on the Congress Sunday, labelling it a “parasitic party” that betrays its allies at the first opportunity. Speaking at a massive victory rally in Bengaluru, Modi used the collapse of the Congress-Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) alliance in Tamil Nadu to warn other regional parties.
“The Congress’s identity has now become one of a parasitic party. Due to this, in the first chance they get, they betray their allies,” he said.
PM Modi highlighted the decades-long relationship between the Congress and the DMK, noting that the latter had been a pillar of stability for the United Progressive Alliance (UPA) government for ten years.

Tamil Nadu Vijay CM Oath Ceremony Live Updates: I will be the only power centre in TN, says CM Vijay
If you're just joining us, here's a recap of what TVK chief, now chief minister of Tamil Nadu, Vijay said in his address.
Tamil Nadu Chief Minister C Joseph Vijay said he will be the sole "power centre" in his led government, and sought to identify himself as a commoner from humble origins.
Vijay said he was well aware about poverty and hunger as he was born as the son of an ordinary assistant film director who aspired to win in cinema by working hard.
In his maiden speech, the CM assured there will be only one power centre in his regime and that will be only him.
"There is only one centre here, the centre under my leadership. A centre on this side, a power centre on that side, another power centre there - none of that exists, I'm telling you right now," he said.
Further, he said, "I do not hail from any royal lineage, I am like you and I am like one among you, one among your family," he said adding he was rather feeling like one of them, their son or brother.
