Modi and Shah are playing classic good cop, bad cop. We will have to see if Tamilians fall for it.

'Yaadhum oore, yaavarum kelir' ("To us all towns are one, all people our kin"). PM @NarendraModi quotes Tamil philosopher Kaniyan Pungundranar at #UNGA, a quote depicted in the @UN. Also deflates politics back home over Hindi imposition. (He did so at Houston too).
