Anitha Radhakrishnan, a Tamil Nadu minister and leader of the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK), acknowledged that the MK Stalin government had committed “a small mistake” a day after Prime Minister Narendra Modi chastised them over a picture of a Chinese rocket in an advertisement for a new ISRO facility in the state.
According to Radhakrishnan, officials failed to notice an error made by the advertisement’s designers.
He informed ANI on Thursday that there was a slight error in the newspaper ad we provided on the construction of a rocket launch pad in the Kulasekarapatnam area.
He said, “Those who designed the advertisement made a mistake that we were unaware of, which was the image of the Chinese flag in the advertisement welcoming Prime Minister Narendra Modi.”
At a rally in Tirunelveli, Tamil Nadu, on Wednesday, Prime Minister Modi said that the DMK government had placed China’s label to claim “false credit” for ISRO’s facility in the state.
“DMK is a party that puts in no effort but advances to claim unjustified credit. These folks affix their stickers to our designs. Now that they’ve gone too far, they’ve added China’s label to claim ownership of the ISRO launch pad in Tamil Nadu,” he had previously stated.
