Chennai, Dec. 5 -- Training his guns on the BJP, RSS and the Sangh parivar outfits for indulging in communal divide over lighting of 'Karthigai Deepam' at the Thiruparankundram in Madurai with an eye on upcoming assembly election, Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin on Friday said what the temple city requires is not religious polarisation but developmental politics.

"Whether the great city Madurai requires politics of development or .. Politics?" he wrote on his 'X' handle. Though the Chief Minister had left what was not needed for Madurai, which is facing an orchestrated campaign of the saffron parivaar over the 'deepam' issue, he left no one in doubt about whom he is referring to.
