BJP stages protest across Tamil Nadu Meanwhile, the BJP is staging black flag protests across Tamil Nadu, alleging that the DMK and Chief Minister Stalin are using the delimitation meeting as a distraction from what it claims is "rampant corruption" in the state. "This is nothing but a political drama to divert attention from the DMK's failures," the party said in a statement. Tamil Nadu BJP president K Annamalai says, "Our state has various issues with neighbouring states. With Kerala, we have Mullaperiyar Dam issue...Karnataka government has opposed Metro line towards Hosur from Karnataka border. On various occasions, our CM didn' raise these issues when he visited neighbouring states. But today, he has called all CMs and is doing drama on delimitation, which is not even a problem at all."
