Sivaji Krishnamurthy, a rabid hate monger known for his abusive speeches who was previously expelled from the DMK, has been reinstated into the party.
He is recognized for his frequent use of offensive language in criticizing opposition figures such as BJP State President Annamalai, AIADMK General Secretary Edappadi Palaniswami, former Chief Minister O. Panneer Selvam, VK Sasikala, Khushbu, and others.
In June 2023, at a general meeting commemorating Karunanidhi’s centenary birthday arranged by the Chennai North District DMK, Sivaji Krishnamurthy drew attention for his innuendos linking actress Khushbu and actor Prabhu. He criticized her defection and cautioned aspiring actors against emulating her, portraying her as an old vessel that has undergone refurbishment.
He unleashed a barrage of inappropriate remarks, “If one wants to pursue acting, they must not emulate Khusbhu. She is my old sister-in-law (pazheya Anni), now she is akin to an old vessel that has been refurbished for reuse”.
Following his comments on Khushbu, the National Commission for Women (NCW) declared its intention to take action against Sivaji Krishnamurthy.
He was later ousted from the DMK and confronted with charges under five sections, resulting in his arrest.
However, in a recent statement released on 10 February 2024, the DMK declared that Sivaji Krishnamurthy having expressed ‘remorse’ for his actions has been reinstated as primary member of the party.
The DMK’s headquarters ‘Anna Arivaalayam,’ declared in a press release that, “Sivaji Krishnamurthy from Chennai district expressed to the president of the party, regret for his actions and accepted his request to allow him to work again, accepting the request the disciplinary action against him has been canceled and allowed to work as a member of the association from today.”

Another internet user commented, “It is the highest level of obscenity @arivalayam that has brought back to the party #திமுக who speaks like this on women and political leaders on the public platform… Similarly, if other parties talk like this, will you let them go? You arrest people for putting memes @Udhaystalin“
ஆபாசத்தின் உச்ச நிலை தான் @arivalayam பெண்களையும் அரசியல் தலைவர்களையும் பொது மேடையில் இப்படி பேசும் இவரைத்தான் #திமுக மீண்டும் கட்சியில் இணைத்துள்ளது..
இதேபோல் பிற கட்சியினர் உங்களை பேசினால் விட்டுவிடுவீர்களா மீம்ஸ் போட்டாலே கைது செய்யும் நீங்கள் அனுமதிப்பீர்களா? @Udhaystalin pic.twitter.com/kIvm55rrHZ— 𝙅𝙚𝙜𝙖𝙣 𝙈𝙪𝙧𝙖𝙡𝙞𝙧𝙖𝙟 (@Jeganmuraliraj) February 11, 2024

In a prior occurrence in January 2023, Krishnamoorthy went on an abusive rant on the Governor of Tamil Nadu, RN Ravi, issuing threats after the governor diverged from the prepared script during his speech. This event sparked widespread public outrage, with calls urging Stalin to prevent such behavior, resulting in Krishnamoorthy’s suspension from the party. Despite the suspension and the public’s disapproval, the party later reinstated him.
