By Pramod Madhav: Tamil Nadu Chief Minister and Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) chief, MK Stalin, has slammed Governor RN Ravi over ‘DMK’s ideology is parochial and dead’ remark and wrote to his party cadres, highlighting the success of the Dravidian model of governance.
In his letter, the CM wrote, “Political forces are unable to bear the success of the Dravidian model and are employing diversion tactics.”
Citing the promises made by political parties in Karnataka, he said, “The poll promises mirror promises implemented by the DMK government. Tamil Nadu’s Dravidian model is becoming the state governance formula across India.”

“Call this a success of two-year governance. This victory will continue in the next elections,” he added.
During an interview, Tamil Nadu Governor RN Ravi said the Dravidian model was a dead philosophy.
“Dravidian model is only a political slogan, a desperate bid to sustain an expired ideology, an ideology that does not relish the idea of ‘Oru Bharatham, One India’,” he was quoted as saying by the Times of India.
Responding to the Governor’s remarks, DMK spokesperson Saravanan said. “Everyone knows what he is, where he is from, and what he stands for.”
“We are all proud Indians. A first standard student begins his education with the words ‘Unity in Diversity’ the words which define India. We want unity, not uniformity,” he said.

“Governor, BJP, and RSS are preaching uniformity. We cannot be uniform. As Anna said, India is not a nation but a sub-continent. He said that because of the geographical, linguistic and ethnic diversity,” he said, adding, “We cannot homogenise the society.”
