Popular Tamil tech YouTuber, Nanda Kumar, known as “PC Doctor,” a Dravidianist who has simped for Pakistan, whitewashed Jinnah & Pakistani terror during Pahalgam terrorist attack, peddled the DMK propaganda of North-South divide, found himself snubbed by MK Stalin and his team after he was reportedly not allowed to ask his own questions during an influencer meet.
“Meaningful Conversation” Invite vs Reality
According to Nanda Kumar, the DMK‑led event team sent him a formal invite promising a high‑level policy dialogue with the Chief Minister. The English invite, which he read out on video, said: “We are excited to invite you to an exclusive interaction with the Hon’ble Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu, Dr. M.K. Stalin. This curated session brings together influencers for meaningful conversation on politics and governance, offering direct questions, thoughtful dialogue and exchange of perspectives.”
Nanda Kumar says he did not decide alone to attend. “I never take decisions entirely by myself; I always discuss with my team,” he explained, adding that he consulted his colleague Prabu because of their long‑standing rule not to do paid political content or become propaganda tools. “A lot of people have approached me saying, ‘We’ll pay you, just do a podcast for us.’ I have never done any of that,” he said.
Despite initial hesitation, the A2D team concluded that if the Chief Minister was genuinely ready to take “direct questions,” they should go and ask them.
“They Gave Us a Question Paper”
However, Nanda Kumar alleges that the event format at the venue contradicted the promise of free questioning. “As soon as we went, instead of this A‑to‑Z openness, they handed us something in our hands,” he said. When his friend guessed it might be a “treat box,” he replied, “No, a question paper.”
He claims the printed sheet contained only trivial, personality‑based prompts:
- “What is your ringtone?”
- “What apps do you have on your phone?”
“They gave this question paper and didn’t even say, ‘You can ask your own questions.’ They just gave it and walked off,” he said, adding that an argument broke out immediately. “I told them clearly: I have got an opportunity to ask questions to a Chief Minister. If I go there and ask these things, what will our people think?”
According to him, even his final, relatively soft question on the Chief Minister’s mental health routine made the organisers visibly uncomfortable. “When I merely asked a question about mental health, they got tense. If I go there and ask proper questions like these, they’d probably want to throw me off the terrace,” he remarked.
The Questions He Says Were Blocked
In his video, Nandakumar lists a series of policy‑heavy questions he claims he had prepared but were never allowed into the final programme or edit:
On GDP Growth: He wanted to ask about the much‑touted 11–19% GDP growth figure: whether it was a genuine result of policy changes or simply a rebound from the COVID‑era crash. “If it is policy‑driven, what specific policy changes did we bring in?” he says he planned to ask.
On Tamil Nadu vs Bengaluru: He notes that for Tamil Nadu, IT services and industries are the main GDP drivers, while in Bengaluru, industry is smaller, but a strong IT and startup ecosystem keeps Karnataka close behind. “Students from here go there, settle there, and get high‑value salaries… If we keep creating talent here only to export it there, how long before Karnataka overtakes us completely?” was another question he says he wanted to put to Stalin.
On AI and Future Jobs: With public anxiety that “AI is coming, jobs will go,” he says he wanted to ask what Tamil Nadu is doing to use AI positively in education, and how involved the Chief Minister personally is in AI policy. “I wanted to know all that. But none of that even reached the table,” he said.
On Welfare vs Liquor Policy: Nandakumar describes himself as a product of state welfare – government school, laptops, cycles, noon‑meal scheme, scholarships, research support and argues that he has “paid back” through taxes and job creation. “Between AMG and Newk PC together, we have more than 40 employees. I’ve created employment,” he pointed out.
His key question, which he calls the “most important,” was about the contradiction between such investment and the state’s liquor and addiction policies: “On one side you invest so much in education, health and upliftment; on the other side, you allow liquor and addiction to flourish. If that continues, all the investment on this side gets cancelled out in reverse. How do you justify that contradiction?”
He reinforces the point with a personal anecdote about a school friend who is now driving an auto after getting hooked on alcohol in higher secondary, contrasting that with his own refusal to enable such habits. For him, this illustrated how state‑enabled addiction can undermine the very beneficiaries of its welfare schemes.
“Only the Mental Health Question Survived”
Responding to critics who accused him of wasting an opportunity by asking only about Stalin’s mental health and stress management, Nandakumar insisted the viral clip is incomplete. “Your question is correct… I myself asked these questions,” he said. “Yes, I asked. But none of it came out. Honestly, none of it came out.”
He says the mental‑health question, about how Stalin manages stress and what advice he has for youngsters, was actually the last question in his list, and the only one that made it onto the published content from the event. “None of these questions were allowed to reach him. Instead, they wanted us to ask, ‘What is your ringtone?’ and ‘What apps are there on your phone?’” he said.
Backlash and Accusations of Stage‑Managing
Nanda Kumar also expressed frustration at social‑media reactions labelling him all sorts of names simply for asking tough questions and later speaking about how the event was handled. “If you watch just two videos on our channel, you’ll understand. I’m not here to justify myself. The questions you are asking are valid,” he told viewers.
His account paints a picture of a heavily stage‑managed “influencer interaction,” where organizers advertised open, policy‑oriented dialogue with the Chief Minister but, according to him, tried to confine participants to light, personality‑based queries while quietly keeping more probing economic and governance questions off the record.
