There has been lots of talk about the 8 way green expressway between salem & chennai. Being built at the cost of RS 10000 crores by Modi sarkar. This is the best thing to have happend to Tamil Nadu since independence. Let me tell you why in this series of tweets.

1. There is lots of talk about opposition and people agitating against this highway , but on the ground people are welcoming it & supporting it. If there is any opposition it's only in tamil TV channels. Iam in salem & iam meeting the locals they are jubilant.

2. Let's see who is opposing & why
Who is opposing ?
Obviously it's the DMK . First they oppose through their Pidi's, then they support their Pidi's & after sensing the peoples mood they either jump in or withdraw. Let's not focus on DMKs Pidi's, they are not worth mentioning

3 on what grounds are they opposing ?
a. Modi is trying to steal mineral rich TN especially salem
b. Environment is getting damaged
c. Farmers are getting affected
d. Why does salem need a third highway to chennai
e. Why spend 10000 crores when it can be done in 1000 crs ?

4.f. Rich forest lands are getting destroyed
g. TN will become a desert
h . Just because Japan is investing in bullet train in Gujarat , modi has sold TN to Japan
I. Northern TN will get divided into two. Barricades will come on either sides of the road dividing people

5. Most of these reasons are ludicrous & funny even nursery kids will have better intelligence. Let's not target the Pidi's & get diverted , let's focus on their pay masters ie DMK.

DMK if it has guts let stalin come for a live debate with me at any time & place of his choice

6. What are my credentials to talk about environmental issues?

Iam not only an author of a book on Global warming , but I have gone to every educational institution in western TN and created an awareness on global warming. Due to my efforts several schools have banned plastics

7. I have planted more trees in salem out of my own hard earned money , than anti National Naxals & extortionists masquerading as environmentalists. DMK is using these naxals to further their agenda.

Let's see each point of opposition in detail

8. This is aerial view of salem magnasite , hundreds of acres of forest land have been destroyed for this magnasite, several villages destroyed, complete rape of salem forest. Courtesy both DMK & ADMK. Now these very ppl DMK in particular talking about environment is funny indeed

9. This is Bauxite mine in Yercaud, hundreds of acres of pristine forest has been destroyed to extract Bauxite. Entire hill station has been raped of its beauty. Courtesy DMK & ADMK. Now this very same DMK is talking about protecting environment 😃😃

10. While establishing Salem steelplant DMK fought tooth & nail to mine this kanjamalai & extract iron ore from it and run a fully integrated steel plant in salem. Fortunately there wasn't enough steel in it, so the idea was dropped & steel brought from bhilai & rourkela ..

11. Consistently loss making salem steel plant was made into a cold / hot rolling mill. This is the same DMK which wanted to mine kanjamalai, is today accusing the centre of planning to mine kanjamalai. Devil quoting scriptures

12. Both dravidian parties have been caught with their hands in the cookie jar in the granite mining issue. They have looted the natural resources of Tamil Nadu. Today DMK has the audacity to talk about environment.

13. The less talked about the granite loot by both dravidian parties the better it is. They have taken turns to screw the natural resources of Tamil Nadu. DMK today talks about environment? Joke

14. both DMK & ADMK have raped the cauvery, thousands of truck loads of sand were mined , cauvery stripped bone dry & today DMK accusing BJP of spoiling TN environment , laughable

15. Both DMK & ADMK tweeked rules & converted several lakhs of acres of fertile agricultural lands into residential & commercial plots. Where was their concern for farmers when they did this ? What right does DMK have to talk about farmers ? Nothing.

16. Many hills around salem have just disappeared because of the blue metal industry. Courtesy DMK & ADMK. Now dmk has the balls to say this 8 way track will destroy mountains & it's ecosystem.

17. In 1967 when these Dravidian Parties came to power TN had 44000 + water bodies like lakes & ponds. Today we have less than 6000. Where are the rest 38000+ water bodies DMK ? Today these specimens are talking about protecting water bodies ? Come on

18. Both DMK & ADMK indiscriminately looted the water bodies across TN & made unimaginable wealth. Result when water bodies become houses , houses become water bodies. Chennai floods speaks volumes about their loot. DMK talking about environment & waterbodies? Go take a hike

19. Every day between 2 am & 8 am if you stand in Yercaud foot hills you can see atleast 70 trucks full of illegally cut timber, imagine pan TN.These Dravidian Parties have raped our forests too. How many dmk Pidi's are involved in this trade ? Less talked about them better it is

20 if you go by the record of number of trees planted by both dravidian parties using tax payers money, TN should have thrice the number of trees as compared to the Amazon forests. Where are those trees Mr. Stalin ?

21. DMK talking about selling TN to corporates is a joke. Look how they sold land to sterlite ? DMK nexus with corporates was revealed in the 2 G scam. Hooo Raja where are you dear ?

22 These Dravidian Parties wear black dress, they love darkness , they have kept people of TN in darkness for too long. Black coloured dress signifies ignorance & Thamo guna. No wonder these DMK pidis are pissed with a project that will take TN out of darkness.

23. Without power DMK is like fish out of water. Their cadre are out of funds. Ten years out of power at a stretch is asking for too much. There is no money honey for dmk cadre. They are out of power in the center too. Their bad luck even local bodies are out. Sorry state indeed

24. DMK cadre are being poached from all sides, rajini, BJP , Kamal & other fringe parties. Its Base is fast eroding. DMKs present leadership is not inspiring. Even with a 12 party alliance they couldn't get deposit in RK nagar. Such is the sorry state of DMK today.

25. This thread is just a sample to expose DMK , I will explain the merits of this 8 way track in a separate thread. Thank you 🙏
