**DMK “Driven by Fear of Defeat,” Claims Union Minister Murugan**

**Chennai, June 21, 2025** – Union Minister of State for Information and Broadcasting L. Murugan today accused the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) of launching desperate and ineffective campaigns fueled by a growing fear of electoral defeat. Speaking to reporters on the sidelines of International Yoga Day celebrations in Tambaram, Murugan asserted that the DMK is losing public support due to the country’s development over the last decade.

“The DMK lacks public support, as people have clearly made up their minds after witnessing the country’s development over the past 10 years,” Murugan stated. He specifically pointed to the DMK’s opposition to delimitation and the NEET exam as examples of these failing campaigns.

Murugan also addressed recent remarks made by Union Home Minister Amit Shah, who suggested those who speak English in India would “soon feel ashamed.” Murugan clarified that Shah’s comments were meant to encourage shedding the colonial mindset and emphasized the BJP’s efforts to promote Indian tradition, culture, and languages since coming to power in 2014. He highlighted the National Education Policy’s focus on learning Indian languages alongside one’s mother tongue.

Looking ahead, Murugan announced that the Muruga Bhaktargalin Aanmeega Maanadu, a spiritual gathering for devotees of Lord Muruga, is expected to draw lakhs of participants from around the world to Madurai tomorrow, June 22nd.
