DMK spokesperson and joint secretary of the party’s media wing, Saravanan Annadurai, has come under intense criticism following a controversial post on his official X account, where he made a derogatory and salacious remark directed at senior BJP leader and former Telangana Governor, Tamilisai Soundararajan.
Saravanan’s remarks came after Tamilisai welcomed the statements made by Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam chief and actor-turned-politician Vijay, who recently launched a direct attack on the ruling DMK. On Women’s Day, Vijay criticized the alarming rise in crimes against women in Tamil Nadu and held the DMK government responsible. Addressing the media in Madurai, Tamilisai supported Vijay’s stance, stating, “Brother Vijay has rightly said that DMK is a party that should be removed from Tamil Nadu, and that is our position too.”
Annoyed by this development, Saravanan Annadurai—who has previously been busted for spreading misinformation to defend the DMK—made a derogatory comment against Tamilisai Soundararajan. In his post, he mockingly questioned, “Is he a ‘theme partner’ or a ‘sleeping partner’? It would be nice if this was clarified as well.”
Following severe backlash, Saravanan deleted the post, but the damage had already been done. TN BJP State Secretary SG Suryah condemned the statement, demanding an apology and calling out DMK MP Kanimozhi, who frequently speaks on women’s rights, for her silence on the issue.
TN BJP State Secretary SG Suryah via his official X account stated, “DMK, the monsters of humanity. DMK, an immoral movement with minimal civility and petty politics. It is unacceptable to insult BJP women leaders, especially the respected @DrTamilisai4BJP, who has held the highest responsibility given by the Constitution. If you respectfully apologize for the mistake you made, your honor will be saved Mr.@saravofcl! What is the women rights activist sister @KanimozhiDMK going to say to this? Is it silence as usual?”
