For the past three days, DMK’s unofficial IT wing has been working overtime to defend Rajya Sabha MP Tiruchi Siva while simultaneously launching a smear campaign against the late Chief Minister K. Kamaraj on social media.

DMK Deputy General Secretary and Rajya Sabha MP Tiruchi Siva came under heavy fire from netizens and political circles alike after making disparaging remarks about former Chief Minister K. Kamaraj during a party meeting in Perambur. Siva claimed that Kamaraj couldn’t sleep without air conditioning and credited the late DMK leader Karunanidhi for installing one for him, an attempt to glorify Karunanidhi while undermining Kamaraj’s legacy.

The comments sparked outrage, as they struck a nerve with many who revere Kamaraj as one of Tamil Nadu’s most selfless leaders. The backlash online was swift and unforgiving, with many demanding an unconditional apology from Siva and calling on the DMK to hold him accountable.

Yet, while public anger mounted, Dravidianist social media handles sprang into action spinning narratives to justify Siva’s comments and doubling down by attempting to mock and discredit Kamaraj further.

One such voice, a Dravidianist goes by the name ‘Kabilan,’ posted an unverified old photograph of a bedroom with an air conditioner, claiming it was Kamaraj’s. In a sarcastic tone, he wrote, “In the lineage of Kakkan – Jeeva – Bharathiyar, they’ve finally broken Kamaraj’s furniture,” implying that some hidden truth had been revealed. He added mockingly, “There was an air conditioner in the house where he lived.”

Another self-proclaimed Pro-Dravidianist simp named ‘Schumy Vanna Kaviyangal’ publicly ridiculed former Chief Minister Kamarajar by sharing a morphed image like caricature. This action was reportedly aimed to mock Kamarajar and silence the protests of Congress Karur MP Jothimani, who had criticized DMK MP Tiruchi Siva’s recent comments about Kamarajar.

Yet another pro-Dravidianist simp, ‘U2Brutus’, buttressed DMK MP Siva’s speech and delivered a moralistic sermon to Congress, stating, “This is what brother Trichy Siva Anna spoke. I don’t see anything wrong in it, nor do I feel there is even an iota of intention to demean our revered leader. I don’t understand why Sister Jyothimani and brother Selvaperunthagai are reacting like this. What was the Congress’s counter-reaction to Seeman, who spoke degradingly about Sister Jyothimani?”

A Dravidianist who goes by the name ‘Alien’, shared an alleged video of Tamilaruvi Maniyan, in which he states, “Even Kamarajar couldn’t live without air conditioning in his final days.” Alongside the video, ‘Alien’ remarked, “Listen to Thamizharuvi Manian, who runs a party in Kamarajar’s name. This is all well-known fact to the older generation. What’s the big deal about AC? It is a well-known and very common facts back then that Kamarajar smoked and Anna used snuff. After Kamarajar’s time, the media continuously spun stories like “when he traveled by car,” and a generation from a landlord-like party grew up reading only that. They know neither Kamarajar nor Kalaignar. They’re just using this opportunity to assert their presence and put on a show of loyalty to party predecessors, that’s all.”

Another Dravidianist going by the name ‘Dravidian Vision’ opined, “What MP Trichy Siva said is true. It was Leader Kalaignar who instructed that air conditioning be arranged in the government hostels where Perundhalaivar Kamaraj stayed. Kalaignar himself confirmed this on Facebook.”

Another Dravidianist sympathizer, in reference to DMK MP Siva’s speech, stated, “Nowhere, did he mention anything wrong about Kamarajar? It just shows the bond between the two leaders. It highlights the respect and regard Kalaignar had for Kamarajar, and the affection Kamarajar had for Kalaignar. Is this why these blind, Congress landlords and new backward-thinkers are jumping around?”

Another Dravidianist sympathizer mocked saying, “Why are they so shy about saying a former Chief Minister had AC? Is it because they can no longer spin tales about him being a simple man? Congress has always meant landlords, right from the old days. Now, fairy tale stories won’t work. Understand the reality and do some fieldwork, folks.”

Another Dravidianist sympathizer mocked saying, “When someone says Kamarajar slept with AC… they start wailing that he’s been disgraced. When someone who takes a private flight to attend an actress’s wedding is called “Young Kamarajar,” they shut up. Who the hell are you guys?”

Another Dravidianist sympathizer virtue signaled asking, “Why can’t they accept the simple truth that a person who was Chief Minister twice and one of the country’s foremost leaders was in such a physical state in his final days that he couldn’t sleep without AC?What kind of disgrace has befallen Kamarajar’s reputation because of this? Furthermore, @tiruchisiva clearly stated that it wasn’t for luxury, but due to his health, that he had that need. This information was even shared with the intention of explaining how much leader Kalaignar cared for Kamarajar’s health. It’s disgusting to see some people in the Congress party engaging in cheap politics by taking a statement made with a pure heart.”

A Dravidianist sympathizer followed suit by sharing old social media post by former Chief Minister Karunanidhi and old AC room picture to justify DMK MP Tiruchi Siva’s recent statements.

This coordinated attempt to rewrite the legacy of a respected leader has not gone unnoticed and it’s only adding fuel to the fire.
