Tamil investigative political magazine Junior Vikatan has reported that one of the reasons for removing DMK leader Rajiv Gandhi from the post of Student Wing Secretary and reassigning him as Joint Secretary in the Propaganda Wing was allegations that he misbehaved with female party cadres.
The report says that DMK leader Rajiv Gandhi has been sending inappropriate messages to some of the party’s female executives at night via Instagram and Facebook. “Despite their warnings, he did not stop. Following this, the female executives informed the higher-ups about the matter.“, the report says.
According to a report by News J Tamil, more than 35 women have complained of sexual harassment by DMK leader Rajiv Gandhi when he was the head of Student’s Wing.

Both Junior Vikatan and News J has reported that the DMK was forced to act on Rajiv Gandhi and remove him from the post of Student’s Wing Secretary after complaints of sexual harassment. However, this move is being seen as an eye-wash as he has been given another post in the DMK’s propaganda wing.
Leaked Instagram direct messages purportedly involving Rajiv Gandhi, engaging in suggestive and sexually charged conversations with what is alleged to be a female party cadre are also doing the rounds on social media. The screenshots show Rajiv Gandhi allegedly talking with a married female party executive about France being famous for French kiss and asking her a math question like “What is 23% of 300?” referring to ’69 position’ being ‘his favourite number and position’.

Rajiv Gandhi has denied the screenshots doing the rounds as “fabricated” using “Fake Instagram Chat Generator”.
அரசியல் மாற்றுக் கருத்து இருப்பின் கொள்கை ரீதியில் விவாதிக்கலாம், சண்டையிடலாம். ஆனால், என்னை வீழ்த்த இவ்வளவு கீழ்த்தரமாக ஒரு பொய் செய்தியை 10 டாலர் கிரிப்டோ செலுத்தி உருவாக்கும் அளவிற்கு ஏன் இந்த காழ்ப்புணர்ச்சி?

But many on social media vouch for the chat’s authenticity. A report by Minnambalam also notes that they’ve found the complaints against Rajiv Gandhi to be true.
“When we spoke to DMK student union executives regarding this, complaints were made to Stalin, Udhayanidhi, and Kanimozhi that some female executives in the student union were under stress. The party leadership investigated these shocking complaints and confirmed that they were true. Information also reached the DMK leadership that some people affected by Rajiv Gandhi are ready to speak openly in public.”, Minnambalam report said.
