PM Modi was received by Governor R N Ravi, state minister T M Anbarasan, Chief Secretary N Muruganandam and other officials at the airport.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday trained guns at the ruling DMK in Tamil Nadu and accused it of dynastic politics.

The PM was addressing the first political rally of the NDA at Maduranthakam in Tamil Nadu ahead of assembly elections due in another 2-3 months.

Modi said the DMK government's days in the state are numbered as Tamil Nadu wants to be free of misgovernance. He also dubbed the DMK as "CMC -- Corruption, Mafia, Crime promoting govt."

"Tamil Nadu people have made up their mind to uproot DMK, CMC. The formation of BJP-NDA double engine government is for sure," he said.

"Dynasty, corruption, abuse women, abuse our culture are routes for one's growth in DMK," he added.

PM Modi arrived in Chennai on Friday and was received by Governor R N Ravi, state minister T M Anbarasan, Chief Secretary N Muruganandam and other officials at the airport here upon his arrival from Thiruvananthapuram.
