Tamil Nadu Deputy Chief Minister Udhayanidhi Stalin has sparked a major political controversy after launching a sharp attack on the BJP-AIADMK alliance ahead of the 2026 Assembly elections. Accusing the BJP of misusing central agencies like the Enforcement Directorate (ED) and the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) to intimidate opponents, he declared that his party would not fear Prime Minister Narendra Modi and made a controversial "ready to face even his daddy" remark. The BJP has strongly condemned the statement, escalating the political war of words in Tamil Nadu.
