Dravidianist YouTuber A2D Nanda Kumar Snubbed During Stalin Influencer Meet, Alleges ‘Scripted Questions’ At CM Meet,

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.

‘Complete Disconnect From Roots’: Justice Dharmadhikari Says Manusmriti, Arthashastra, Jainism, Buddhism Must Guide Law Students

‘Complete Disconnect From Roots’: Justice Dharmadhikari Says Manusmriti, Jainism, Buddhism Must Guide Law Students

Speaking at a recent legal conclave, Justice SA Dharmadhikari of the Madras High Court raised concerns over the direction of legal education in India, stating that premier National Law Universities (NLUs) were producing highly capable graduates whose primary ambition was increasingly focused on rapid wealth accumulation rather than public service, as reported in LiveLaw.

Addressing the 2nd NLIU SBA Law Conclave at the National Law Institute University Bhopal, the Chief Justice remarked: “We are increasingly witnessing that though NLUs are producing prodigies who are way ahead of their contemporaries, the drawback is that they are graduating with the ultimate aim of becoming millionaires at the fastest pace. Majority of them have a complete disconnect from their cultural and ideological roots. Be it the principles of Jainism, Buddhism, Manusrimiti or Arathashastra. The correlation of all these texts and rich literature must be necessarily known to all the law students. They will not only bring stability and maturity in their thinking but also make them enlightened about the great organic Indian culture of being extra conscious of our duties and karma for which we are born in this great country as a human being,” the judge said.

He emphasized the need to integrate Indic knowledge systems into legal education, calling for a mandatory course on Indian traditions, sciences, and cultural values.

“It is necessary that a separate dedicated course on Indic sciences, Indian culture, long enduring values and traditions of thousands of years which have sustained the spine of Indian civilization against any and every onslaught allowing it to attain permanence, must be incorporated mandatorily in the curriculum of all the law schools. Stories of pancha tantras, jataka tales, lectures of Chanakyan and discussions and preachings which Ashoka received under adopting buddhi buddhism which have mirrored in various parts of our Indian constitution all need to be taught necessarily to the young law students especially in premier NLUs of the country,” he said.

The Chief Justice warned that without grounding in societal values, legal education risked producing technically sound but emotionally disconnected professionals.

“The time is not far when premier law schools may be successful in producing intelligent graduates but thinking like robots and not like human beings with the sensitivity they ought to nurture and develop for serving the common man of the society. All of us have consciously chosen this noble intellectual profession not for becoming rich but respecting the promise that rule of law always acts as the sentinel for every common citizen of the country,” the judge said.

Call for ‘Indianisation’ of Legal System

Speaking on the theme “Beyond Colonial Hangovers: Rethinking and Reforming The Western Influence On India’s Legal System,” Justice Dharmadhikari argued that Indianisation was essential to restoring the country’s legal identity and improving accessibility.

He stated that colonial-era influence continued to shape legal procedures and thinking even after independence, adding that such legacy functioned “like a fog” obstructing clarity. He urged students to critically examine existing legal frameworks and reshape them to suit India’s needs rather than merely adopting inherited systems.

The judge pointed out that legal complexity and language barriers remained major concerns. He observed that many laws were written in “anarchic English” that ordinary litigants could not understand, effectively restricting access to justice.

He also criticized colonial-era courtroom practices, including addressing judges as “lordships” or “ladyship,” stating that such conventions reflected a system where citizens pleaded for justice rather than asserting it as a right.

On New Criminal Laws and Language Accessibility

Justice Dharmadhikari described the replacement of colonial criminal laws with the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, and Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam as a significant step toward reform. He said the shift reflected a move from a punishment-centric approach to a justice-oriented framework.

He also praised the Supreme Court’s translation initiative, the SUVAS (Supreme Court Vidhik Anuvaad Software), calling it a concrete measure to enhance accessibility by promoting regional languages in judicial processes.

Remarks on Lady Justice Statue

Referring to developments at the Supreme Court of India, the Chief Justice highlighted symbolic changes in the representation of Lady Justice.

“The Supreme Court of India has unveiled a designed statue of Lady Justice. Though traditionally Lady Justice is depicted wearing a blindfold symbolising impartiality and the idea that the law is blind to wealth, power and status. In the new design, the blindfold has been removed emphasising that the law is not blind. It sees everyone equally. The removal of the blindfold signifies a shift of judiciary’s evolving identity. One that acknowledges the need for awareness and sensitivity to inequalities in society rather than blind impartiality,” the judge said.

He further explained that the removal of the sword symbolized a transition away from force-based justice toward constitutional values.

“With her eyes open and the constitution in hand, the new statue stands as a symbol of a justice system focused on fairness, equality, and transparency. The removal of the colonial era blindfold and sword reflects a judiciary committed to upholding constitutional values and addressing the social and legal inequalities that persist in modern society,” he said.

Justice Dharmadhikari concluded that reforming India’s legal system required both structural changes and a shift in mindset. He stressed that decolonisation did not mean discarding the past but reinterpreting it in a way that aligns with India’s cultural and societal realities while strengthening access to justice for ordinary citizens.

Complaint Seeks Probe Into Passport Of Salvation Army Official Over Fake DOB Claim

Complaint Seeks Probe Into Passport Of Salvation Army Official Over Fake DOB Claim

A formal complaint has been submitted by NGO watchdog Legal Rights Protection Forum (LRPF) to the Chief Passport Officer, Passport Seva Programme (PSP) Division under the Ministry of External Affairs, seeking an inquiry into the passport issued to Cheeli Aseervadam, currently serving as Financial Secretary at The Salvation Army Territorial Headquarters in Colombo, Sri Lanka.

The complaint, which has also been marked to the Indian High Commission in Colombo, alleges that the passport was obtained on the basis of false information relating to the individual’s date of birth. It reportedly pertains to a passport issued on 23 January 2014, by the Regional Passport Office in Hyderabad.

According to the complaint, documentary evidence obtained under the Right to Information (RTI) Act, 2005 indicates that Mr. Aseervadam’s educational records list his date of birth as 15 July 1974. However, publications of The Salvation Army, including its official Year Books for 2017, 2018, and 2019 published by its International Headquarters in London, reportedly record his date of birth as 15 July 1977.

The complainant has argued that this three-year discrepancy raises concerns of misrepresentation of identity in documents submitted for obtaining the passport. The complaint cites provisions of the Passports Act, 1967, including Section 10(3)(b), which empowers authorities to impound or revoke a passport obtained through suppression of material information, and Section 12(1)(b), which provides penalties for furnishing false information.

It has also been urged that relevant provisions under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023, relating to cheating, forgery, and use of forged documents, be examined if misrepresentation is established.

The representation has requested authorities to conduct a detailed inquiry into the date of birth declared at the time of passport application and any subsequent renewals. It has called for verification of original supporting documents, including birth certificates, educational records, and affidavits submitted during the application process.

Further, the complaint has sought initiation of prosecution under applicable laws if discrepancies are confirmed. It has also requested that, in the event of any procedural lapses or collusion by passport officials, appropriate criminal and departmental action be taken against those responsible.

The complainant stated that the representation was made in good faith to ensure the integrity of official identity documents issued by the Government of India and has sought acknowledgment and updates on the action taken.

DMK YouTubers Suffer Meltdown Even Before Election Results Are Out, Cry EVM Fraud, Abuse Voters

DMK YouTubers Suffer Meltdown Even Before Election Results Are Out, Cry EVM Fraud, Abuse Voters

Tamil Nadu voted on 23 April 2026 and the results are expected on 4 May 2026. However, chatter on social media and ‘exit poll’ like data making the circles indicate that DMK may not be able to get a clear and resounding majority to form the government easily as expected by the supporters.

In this backdrop, several DMK YouTubers have begun having a meltdown and rants on their social media channels are proof of it.

Jeeva Sagapthan

This DMK YouTuber is known to speak derogatorily of Hindus, Brahmins, Hinduism while buttressing the DMK.

In a video that he posted on his channel, the meltdown he suffered was to be seen to be believed. A short clipping of the video has gone viral on social media.

In the video clipping, he is heard saying, “The BJP is using EVMs to get more votes and make it seem like the lotus symbol always wins by default. I am not making this criticism now; this has been happening since the last Lok Sabha election – After 12 o’clock, the results change, then around 3 or 4 o’clock the results stall, and suddenly between 5 and 6 the polling increases – these are the allegations raised. All this is suspicious. This issue was raised in North India itself, even in Modi’s constituency. Similar criticism came from Haryana, Bihar, and Maharashtra. Rahul Gandhi presented all of this with evidence. Uddhav Thackeray criticized it. Mamata Banerjee also asked questions. All this happened. But in states like Tamil Nadu, they do not do it on a large scale because it would not seem believable. In Tamil Nadu, if the BJP suddenly wins on a large scale, people would not believe it, because everyone knows Tamil Nadu’s voting pattern at the national level. So the BJP cannot win here. So why should they not bring Vijay in? BJP has come in with the mask of Vijay. If the BJP wins here, if it wins 30 constituencies or 40 constituencies, no one will believe it. But if they set it up so that Vijay wins 8 or 10 constituencies, make it look like a hung assembly by maintaining AIADMK, make it so that one seat comes here, and then create a total of 118 or 119 seats, they will bring in the concept of coalition government. What assurance is there that they will not do this? What assurance is there? That fear has come to me.”

He adds, “Please keep asking questions about what technical problems the EVM machine has and how they can do fraud. Every day in that ten-day gap (until the counting), I feel scared, because this has happened before. I am not speaking imaginatively. In the past, didn’t the kind of criticism I mentioned come against the BJP? Didn’t it go to court? So this time, if the BJP wins 20 seats, no one will believe it. This could be arranged so that Vijay with 15 seats and with the AIADMK together and then a hung assembly with 118 or 119 seats emerges. Pay close attention to the Governor’s role in this. No one even knows the name of the person responsible for Tamil Nadu. He is the Governor of Kerala and also the Governor here. Maybe if Stalin gets a kind of clear majority, if they alone come as a big party but do not touch the magic number, then they will do the same thing they did to Sasikala. What will they do? Suddenly the Governor will not come. He will go and sit in Kerala. Then Vidyasagar Rao, who was Governor-in-charge, went and sat in Maharashtra. He will sit like that. Then they will give them time. They will give time for Vijay’s party, the ADMK, and the BJP to talk together. They will arrange the numbers they need in the EVMs. After all, it is their Governor, the Governor will say let them win, there is a chance they may come. Anything can happen. It has happened before. How did the OPS MLAs case happen? How did the TTV Dhinakaran supporting MLAs case happen? Then how did Speaker Dhanapal act in favor of whom? With the majority in the House, with absolute majority, they will create all kinds of confusion. They used the Governor’s hand in Maharashtra, didn’t they? They used the Speaker’s hand, they used the court’s hand, they did all sorts of things. So Tamil Nadu has escaped so far. If a hung assembly comes, then mark my words, Tamil Nadu will be completely affected. In Tamil Nadu, because there is no concept of a hung assembly or coalition government, we are doing very well. That is why MGR used to sing in “Engal Thangam” that Tamil Nadu, a good Tamil Nadu, a Tamil Nadu where the Assembly does not break often. MGR used to sing that. Tamil Nadu has that pride. Our neighboring state Karnataka does not have that. Maharashtra does not have that. So, a state where the government does not fall often, where elections do not come often, Tamil Nadu is a state without problems. One side is DMK, otherwise AIADMK, the people would give a clear mandate. If they break that and set up a hung assembly or coalition government, that’s why you see: all these right-wing people keep saying in Tamil Nadu there will be a hung assembly, no one will get a majority. They keep saying it. In that, DMK will get a majority, they will get around 70, 80 seats, but they will get the most seats. AIADMK will come second, the magic number will not come, and then they will govern with coalition support—this is what they kept saying. Even now, right after the election, right after voting ends, they spread the idea of a hung assembly and coalition government. Ramadas Athawale has been saying this already: coalition government will come, and then Vijay’s party will join us. So, they are conditioning people here, normalizing the concept of coalition government.”

Senthilvel

Another DMK YouTuber Senthilvel also had a similar meltdown and abused IT employees for voting for TVK. A clipping of his video posted on his YouTube has gone viral.

In the clipping, Senthilvel’s comments, captured in a widely shared clip, tie IT workers’ jobs and basic sustenance to DMK patronage. He said, “Many people who work in IT companies have voted in Chennai for TVK. If someone is sitting with a plate of rice in front of them and eating that rice, and eating it with salt, that rice was given to them by the DMK. I’m using a slightly harsh word here, and I do not care about anything.” 

He further said, “Because in Bihar, Uttar Pradesh, and Madhya Pradesh, there are no IT companies, boss. Did your grandfather and father study computers? No. When the computer was invented in the world and began slowly spreading to many countries, it was Rajiv Gandhi who brought computers into India. That’s right, he introduced it. But sadly, he was assassinated. After that there were many regime changes, forget all that. But in Tamil Nadu, during the early days of computers, one state understood that this was the computer age and that computers would be everything. That state brought computers into school textbooks, introduced computer education, introduced computer science courses, established computer colleges in every district and every town, educated you in computers, and then brought TIDEL Park and other huge IT parks into Tamil Nadu so that the children who studied computers could get jobs. The root of all that was laid by the DMK. Today, you go abroad from here, you go on onsite and offshore assignments, you go to America, get green cards, and settle there. All of that was seeded by the DMK. At that time, when Karunanidhi was planning computer education and computer studies, actor Vijay was dancing in songs with Sangavi. Actor Vijay was dancing with Simran. I’m not saying that’s wrong; that was his profession. But it was the DMK that built a computer empire so that you could study and become somebody important. You say you don’t want DMK, you don’t want AIADMK, but you will support 100 candidates who came from AIADMK, and if you think that is called change, then are you a bunch of educated fools or not? I’m saying it again: you are not going to win – that’s another matter. Leave that aside and speak honestly.”

He defended the party’s role in IT development under former leader Karunanidhi. The video clipping gained traction on social media platforms as the state waits for the results of the just concluded 2026 TN Assembly polls.

It is a matter of time for more DMK YouTubers to suffer meltdowns as 4 May is fast approaching and readers, brace for impact on counting day.

Krishnagiri: Village Drinking Water Tank Destroyed By DMK Leader’s Husband, 50 Others Allegedly For Not Voting For DMK

Tension prevailed near Uthangarai in Krishnagiri district after a public drinking water facility was allegedly vandalised, leading to an acute water shortage for over 30 families in the area.

The incident was reported in Thidir Kuppam, a locality adjoining K. Ettipatti village and Karadi Goundanur. Residents of Thidir Kuppam depend on an overhead water tank and another elevated storage point along the street for their daily drinking water needs.

According to local residents, a group of more than 50 people from the neighbouring Karadi Goundanur area gathered at the site on Sunday morning. The group was allegedly led by Perumal, who is said to be associated with the DMK and is the husband of a former panchayat president of K. Ettipatti.

Residents alleged that the group confronted them over their voting choices in recent elections, claiming that the locality had not supported the DMK. They further alleged that the group declared that water supply would be denied on that basis before proceeding to damage the public drinking water tank.

Locals also claimed that members of the group used abusive language and made caste-based remarks during the incident.

Following the destruction of the tank, the area is now facing a severe shortage of drinking water. Residents have urged authorities to take immediate action, restore water supply, and ensure accountability.

Five Years Of Dravidian Model: TN Faces Power Crunch, Evening Shortages Warning Issued

Five Years Of Dravidian Model: TN Faces Power Crunch, Evening Shortages Warning Issued

The Union Power Ministry’s latest figures on southern states’ electricity demand show Tamil Nadu heading into this summer with the highest power consumption in the region and a warning of possible evening power shortages from May that seems to be outcome of five uninterrupted years of Dravidian model governance under the DMK, as reported in Daily Thanthi.

Surge in Demand, Warning from Centre

According to the Union Power Ministry’s report, the combined daily power demand of the southern states – Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Karnataka, Kerala and Puducherry has risen from 69,934 MW in March 2025 to 73,805 MW in March 2026.

Within this, Tamil Nadu’s demand has increased from 19,679 MW to 19,822 MW, placing the state at the top among its southern neighbours in terms of total power consumption.

On a normal day, Tamil Nadu’s average daily demand is around 16,000 MW, but the onset of summer has pushed this much higher. On 21 April 2026, the state set a new all‑time record with a peak demand of 21,060 MW, a figure now repeatedly cited by both the Centre and state agencies.

In this context, the Union Power Ministry has reportedly cautioned that Tamil Nadu may face electricity shortages during evening hours from next month, if additional power is not tied up in advance.

Following the warning, a Tamil Nadu Electricity Board official has said that “advance assessments” are under way to match expected demand with available supply and to estimate the shortfall.

The official also claimed that steps are being initiated to procure additional power to manage any deficit, essentially acknowledging that the system is running so tight that extra purchases are now needed just to ride out the summer peak.

Dravidian Model Claims vs. Power Reality

For five years, the DMK has sold the Dravidian model as a guarantee of superior governance, infrastructure and planning. Yet, despite full knowledge that demand has been rising year after year and that Tamil Nadu already tops the southern region in power consumption, the state is entering another peak‑demand summer under a formal warning from the Union Power Ministry about likely evening shortages. When a model that constantly boasts of planning and welfare still leaves households and businesses staring at potential cuts in the very basics, electricity, during summer, it raises an obvious question: after five continuous years in power, why is Tamil Nadu still being warned about evening power shortages instead of showcasing stability?

‘Two Parties Behind Abuse Culture’: DMK Stooge And Self-Styled ‘Music Director’ James Vasanthan Targets BJP/RSS, Says TVK Mirroring Them After His Car Gets Attacked By Miscreants

james vasanthan dmk

Alleged music director James Vasanthan on Sunday, 26 April 2026, alleged that unidentified persons smashed the rear window of his car on East Coast Road (ECR) in Chennai, and hinted that the act may be linked to his recent confrontations with TVK supporters during a debate.

He later shared a video of the damaged vehicle on Facebook with the caption: “I don’t know whether it’s the work of rowdies or of so‑called educated people. This afternoon, when I went to a restaurant to eat…”

Sun News went one step ahead to describe him as “famous music director”.

Speaking to media, Vasanthan narrated the sequence of events – On Sunday afternoon, James Vasanthan and his wife parked their car on ECR near Thiruvanmiyur for lunch and returned an hour later to find the left rear window smashed and a stone lying on the back seat. He first went home and posted a video of the damage on Facebook, after which journalists and police contacted him, and he then filed a formal complaint using the video as evidence.

He added, “Now that I have given a complaint to the police, we must see whether the people who broke it are just those who do these useless antisocial pranks, or whether they are party workers who did it with an ulterior motive. Because recently, during the elections, I have severely and directly criticised some parties, especially TVK Vijay. I can only guess that someone who got irritated by that might have done this. I do not know who it is. Once the police investigation finds out who did it, I will definitely say what I have to say by way of advice to them.”

When asked about the ‘attacks’ on social media, he began blaming the BJP and RSS. He said, “I come from an earlier generation that has seen more cultured, decent politics from the time I was a small boy. After social media and digital media came, the way some people react here has become very vulgar, disgusting, low-grade and filled with bad, unnecessary words. Whoever says anything, whoever expresses an opinion or criticism, they are attacked in filthy ways – not only personally, but their family, parents, wives and children are all dragged in and abused. An ugly, disgusting culture has taken root.”

Taking aim at the BJP, he said, “We know which party taught this first. If we look, they were the ones who did all this earlier. And now, we see that the newly formed party of actor Vijay has also started following the same path. If you look at the kind of words used in comments and the angle from which they attack, you can tell which party it is. Today, in India, there are basically two parties that do this: one is RSS–BJP, who have been doing it for long. The disgusting social media strategy they trained their people in is now being faithfully copied by TVK Vijay’s supporters and youth. This is not good at all. It is not good for their future or for their social standing. What will their parents or family members husbands, wives, children, think when they see this? With what moral authority can they advise their own children at home, when they themselves are talking in such filthy ways online? Their family can very well say, “You yourself speak so obscenely, don’t you?” This has to change from the roots. We in Tamil Nadu have always taken pride in being an enlightened society. People from other Indian states look at Tamil Nadu as a peaceful state with good economic development, a place where one can earn and live without big problems, where there is social harmony. If these two groups together start destroying that image and that reality, it will only harm us. It will be a big obstacle to our progress. All this needs to stop completely. Only if the right kind of leaders emerge will these things get corrected – that is my understanding.”

When James Vasanthan Blamed Coimbatore Rape Victim

Back in November 2025, when the Coimbatore gang rape shook the state, DMK stooge James Vasanthan made a Facebook post that blamed the gang-rape survivor for her own assault, describing the young woman as “wrong” for being in a secluded area at night with a male friend.

The post, written in Tamil in Facebook and shared widely, came after a private college student was gang-raped near Coimbatore airport on 2 November 2025 by three men. The Peelamedu police later arrested the accused after an encounter in the Thudiyalur forest area.

Instead of condemning the brutality of the crime, Vasanthan’s reaction targeted the victim. “First, the woman is wrong,” he wrote. “How can she go to such a lonely place?” He went on to say that the boy “should have been strong enough to save her,” adding that the woman should not have gone out at night with a man to an uninhabited area.

The alleged musician even described the assault in flippant terms, saying the three rapists had “three minutes of half-pleasure each” and that their lives were now “over.” Critics have slammed this remark as grotesquely trivializing the survivor’s trauma and treating the assault as a cautionary tale instead of a violent crime.

Nowhere in his long post did Vasanthan acknowledge the survivor’s suffering, demand justice, or question how such an attack occurred in a supposedly policed zone under the Dravidian Model DMK government. Instead, his words placed moral blame squarely on the woman, reinforcing the idea that a woman’s “mistake” is what invites violence – a classic case of rape apologia disguised as moral advice.

A 74-year-old man was allegedly beaten to death by a co-passenger following a dispute over reading an LED display board inside a Metropolitan Transport Corporation (MTC) bus near Tambaram on Sunday, 26 April 2026, as reported in Times of India.

According to police, the incident occurred on a Route 70-G bus operating between Guduvancheri and Vadapalani. The accused, identified as Amarnath (25), had boarded the bus at the Tambaram bus stand. At the Tambaram MEPZ stop, the victim, Chandrasekaran (74), an electrician from Padappai, boarded the bus and took a seat next to him.

Police said that an argument broke out after Amarnath allegedly asked the elderly man to read out the place names displayed on the LED board inside the bus. Chandrasekaran reportedly told him that he was unable to do so and suggested asking the conductor instead. However, Amarnath allegedly continued to insist, leading to a heated exchange between the two.

Passengers stated that the conductor intervened upon hearing the commotion and asked Chandrasekaran to change his seat. As the elderly man attempted to get up, Amarnath allegedly pulled him back, strangled him with his hands, and repeatedly assaulted him by punching his face and chest.

Chandrasekaran collapsed unconscious inside the bus. The driver immediately halted the vehicle, following which passengers transported the victim in an autorickshaw to a nearby hospital. Doctors declared him dead on arrival.

Police said the accused attempted to flee the scene but was apprehended by fellow passengers, who also assaulted him before handing him over to authorities. The bus was subsequently driven to the Chromepet police station.

Amarnath has been arrested and booked on charges of murder. Preliminary investigations suggest that he may have been under the influence of alcohol or drugs at the time of the incident. He is a native of Villupuram and was working as a mason in Chennai.

DMK YouTuber Abuses IT Employees For Voting For TVK And Other Parties

By

DMK YouTuber Senthilvel sparked outrage with a viral video clip where he mocked IT professionals in Tamil Nadu for allegedly voting for TVK and other parties in the Assembly polls that took place on 23 April 2026. In the clipping, Senthilvel’s comments, captured in a widely shared clip, tie IT workers’ jobs and basic sustenance to DMK patronage. He said, “Many people who work in IT companies have voted in Chennai for TVK. If someone is sitting with a plate of rice in front of them and eating that rice, and eating it with salt, that rice was given to them by the DMK. I’m using a slightly harsh word here, and I do not care about anything.” 

He further said, “Because in Bihar, Uttar Pradesh, and Madhya Pradesh, there are no IT companies, boss. Did your grandfather and father study computers? No. When the computer was invented in the world and began slowly spreading to many countries, it was Rajiv Gandhi who brought computers into India. That’s right, he introduced it. But sadly, he was assassinated. After that there were many regime changes, forget all that. But in Tamil Nadu, during the early days of computers, one state understood that this was the computer age and that computers would be everything. That state brought computers into school textbooks, introduced computer education, introduced computer science courses, established computer colleges in every district and every town, educated you in computers, and then brought TIDEL Park and other huge IT parks into Tamil Nadu so that the children who studied computers could get jobs. The root of all that was laid by the DMK. Today, you go abroad from here, you go on onsite and offshore assignments, you go to America, get green cards, and settle there. All of that was seeded by the DMK. At that time, when Karunanidhi was planning computer education and computer studies, actor Vijay was dancing in songs with Sangavi. Actor Vijay was dancing with Simran. I’m not saying that’s wrong; that was his profession. But it was the DMK that built a computer empire so that you could study and become somebody important. You say you don’t want DMK, you don’t want AIADMK, but you will support 100 candidates who came from AIADMK, and if you think that is called change, then are you a bunch of educated fools or not? I’m saying it again: you are not going to win – that’s another matter. Leave that aside and speak honestly.”

He defended the party’s role in IT development under former leader Karunanidhi. The video clipping gained traction on social media platforms as the state waits for the results of the just concluded 2026 TN Assembly polls.

Senthilvel’s IT Claims Don’t Hold Up

DMK YouTuber Senthilvel defends his party’s role by attributing Tamil Nadu’s IT success solely to Karunanidhi’s “Dravidian model,” while questioning why other states like Karnataka and Maharashtra thrive without it.

Karnataka tops India’s IT exports with ₹4-5.5 lakh crore (FY24-26 estimates), led by BJP-Congress governments – there is no Dravidian presence.

Maharashtra ranks second at ₹1.2-2.12 lakh crore

Telangana holds third (~₹1-1.5 lakh crore), under Congress rule.

Tamil Nadu sits fourth with ~₹2.26 lakh crore (FY23-24), competitive but not leading despite DMK governance.

These four states drive over 80% of India’s software exports, showing market dynamics, not ideology, fuel growth.

IT companies expand in Haryana, Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Bihar, and Pune without Dravidian policies, via investments and infrastructure.

Everything Is Not Due To Dravidianism

Senthilvel’s remarks don’t just misfire – they expose a deeper arrogance in political messaging that treats citizens as dependents rather than contributors. Reducing IT professionals to people “fed” by a party is not just insulting, it is factually hollow and politically tone-deaf.

What makes the comment particularly jarring is the inversion of reality: IT professionals are not recipients of political charity – they are among the highest taxpayers, wealth creators, and job generators in the country. If anything, it is the system that runs on their productivity, not the other way around.
