Chennai: Tamil Nadu deputy chief minister Udhayanidhi Stalin has extended Deepavali greetings to those \u201cwho have faith\u201d, prompting the BJP to make a sarcastic remark against him.<\/p>\n
In a rare departure from DMK\u2019s traditions, Stalin extended his greetings to supporters for the party\u2019s platinum jubilee celebrations. \u201cI extend my greetings on our (DMK) platinum jubilee celebrations; Deepa oli thirunal greetings to those having belief and celebrating it,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Reacting to the gesture, BJP leader Narayanan Thirupathi took a swipe at Udhayanidhi. \u201c\u2026for those who don\u2019t have belief, greetings to live like Narakasura,\u201d he said in a post on X.<\/p>\n
While Deepavali in the north signifies the return of Lord Rama and Sita Devi to Ayodhya from exile, in the South, the festival marks the victory of Lord Krishna and his Sathyabhama over the demon king Narakasura.<\/p>\n
In line with their \u2018rationalist\u2019 beliefs, DMK leaders refrain from greeting people on festivals.<\/p>\n
