A video of DMK Minister Anitha Radhakrishnan being carried to the shore by a fisherman because the minister didn’t want to get his dazzling white shoes wet has gone viral on social media.
Anitha Radhakrishnan, the DMK MLA from Thiruchendur constituency and Minister for Fisheries in Tamil Nadu, was at Palaverkadu to inspect the effects of sea erosion.
When Anitha Radhakrishnan’s boat approached the shoreline, he realized he would have to walk the remaining distance in the water to get to land. However, because the Minister did not want to get his bright white sports shoes wet, he let a fisherman carry him to the shore as his followers and other fishermen crowded around him for support.
Recognizing that his video was becoming viral for all the wrong reasons, the minister gave an evasive reply, claiming that it was that fisherman who insisted on carrying him on their shoulders out of affection.
