A political storm has erupted over Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin's visit to Bihar, where elections are due this year-end, with the BJP raking up the controversy over the "anti-Bihar" and "anti-Sanatana" remarks made by DMK leaders in the past. The BJP has also dared Mr Stalin, who heads the DMK, to repeat the comments on Biharis by his colleague Dayanidhi Maran and by his son Udhayanidhi on the Sanatana Dharma, if he has the "guts", when he reaches the election-bound state this afternoon.
The online offensive by the BJP's state spokesperson in Tamil Nadu, Narayanan Tirupathi, follows Mr Stalin's visit to Bihar to join the 'Voter Adhikar Yatra' by Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi to mobilise support and display the opposition strength.
