Annamalai Exposes DMK’s Drama: DMK Functionary ‘Kozhi Rajan’ Accused Of Rowdyism And Embezzling Funds Meant For Church Is The Spouse Of ‘Ph.D Student’ Jean Joseph Who Created Scene At Convocation Event

BJP leader K. Annamalai has launched a sharp attack on the ruling DMK, accusing the party of consistently shielding and empowering anti-social elements for political and financial gain. According to Annamalai, the DMK has a long-standing pattern of recruiting individuals with criminal backgrounds, rewarding them with positions of influence, and turning a blind eye to their escalating misconduct as long as they continue to deliver money or political advantage.

The BJP leader’s criticism comes in the wake of a fresh controversy involving Rajan, the joint secretary of DMK’s Nagercoil city unit. Widely known among locals as “Kozhi Rajan” or “Dhadiyan Rajan,” he was recently caught on camera when his wife who studied at Manonmaniam Sundaranar University, virtue-signalled by refusing to take the degree certificate from Tamil Nadu Governor RN Ravi. However, Annamalai and others allege the performance was nothing more than a political smokescreen an attempt to divert attention from a string of serious criminal allegations that have trailed her husband and DMK functionary Rajan for years.

Locals in Nagercoil have long accused Rajan of misappropriating approximately ₹1.5 crore allocated by the Tamil Nadu government for renovation works at the historic St. Xavier’s Church. They claim the funds were used to purchase assets including properties and an Innova car under his wife’s name. Yet, repeated attempts to obtain transparency via RTI queries have been stonewalled. Even a formal complaint lodged with the Directorate of Vigilance and Anti-Corruption has reportedly gone nowhere.

Residents of Bharathar South village in Kottar have also submitted complaints to both the District Collector and the Superintendent of Police, accusing Rajan of issuing death threats to dissenters and creating a public nuisance near schools while intoxicated disturbing students and intimidating locals. Despite this, no legal action has been taken against him, which Annamalai attributes solely to Rajan’s political affiliation with the DMK.

Taking to his official X account, Annamalai wrote, “The history of the DMK party is one of seeking out individuals involved in petty crimes, giving them positions of power, and then turning a blind eye when they commit more serious offenses by solely focusing on the income they generate. Due to this only the ordinary public suffers. Just two days ago, a man named Rajan, the joint secretary of the Nagercoil DMK unit, was caught on camera creating a scene at Manonmaniam Sundaranar University, feigning criticism of the Governor. This same individual was known to the people of Nagercoil as “Kozhi Rajan” or “Dhadiyan Rajan” for many years and has a long history of criminal allegations against him. The people of Nagercoil have complained that this “Kozhi Rajan” embezzled about 1.5 crore rupees allocated by the government to the famous St. Xavier’s Church in Nagercoil and claimed he used the money to acquire several properties and an Innova car in his wife’s name. When questioned about the funds through the Right to Information Act, authorities refused to answer. Even when a complaint filed against him with the Directorate of Vigilance and Anti-Corruption also appears to have been shelved. In addition to this, the residents of Kottar’s Bharathar South village in Nagercoil have already filed complaints with the District Collector and the Superintendent of Police regarding “Kozhi Rajan’s” actions, which include threatening to kill opposers and causing disturbance near schools while drunk, bothering students. However, the DMK government has not taken any action against “Kozhi Rajan” to date. The only reason for this is that he belongs to the DMK. It is believed that “Kozhi Rajan” staged the scene at the university to divert attention from the public’s complaints against him. The Tamil Nadu government allocated ₹2.28 crore for the renovation of St. Xavier’s Church in Kottar and has already released ₹1.14 crore in the first phase. Why do they refuse to make the accounts of these funds public? Why is the district police hesitant to take action against “Kozhi Rajan,” who continues to threaten the public? The public will soon teach a lesson to the DMK that continues to protect, empower, and promote anti-social elements.”
