The Agriculture and Food Processing Development Conference and Exhibition, held at the National Institute of Food Technology, Entrepreneurship, and Management in Melavasthachavadi, Thanjavur district, kicked off on 3 January 2024. Panneerselvam inaugurated the two-day event.
During his address, Panneerselvam rudely addressed his assistant, saying, “Where is Parasuraman? Are you a buffalo? Where is the paper?” When the assistant handed him a note, the minister tossed it aside, further disgracing him and escalating the situation.
The incident has sparked considerable backlash. The video of the exchange went viral on social media, drawing widespread condemnation of the DMK minister’s behavior.
