Prime Minister Narendra Modi is silent on the issues raised by the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) members in Parliament, Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M K Stalin said on Friday and claimed that the 2024 Lok Sabha election will herald a new beginning in the country just as the 2021 Assembly polls in Tamil Nadu ensured a new "dawn" in the state.

Modi, the Chief Minister said, remained silent as he had no answers to the questions posed by the DMK Parliamentarians. "The Prime Minister has no answers to the questions posed by the DMK MPs like T R Baalu or Kanimozhi on the Sethu Samudram Ship Canal project or Madurai AIIMS project. The 2024 Lok Sabha election will herald a new dawn in the country just as the 2021 Assembly election led to the rise of the DMK in Tamil Nadu," Stalin said after solemnising the wedding of DMK functionary Paruthi Ilamsuruthi with Nandhini at Korattur here.
