Tamil Nadu is still reeling from the devastating impact of Cyclone Fengal, which brought heavy rainfall and widespread flooding to the state, displacing thousands of people and causing extensive damage to life and property. Areas like Vikravandi and Krishnagiri have been among the hardest hit, struggling with the aftermath of the cyclone over the past week. Meanwhile, the DMK ministers have come under criticism for seeming to neglect the suffering of the people, as they were seen holding birthday parties titled, “Udhay Naal” to commemorate birthday of the DMK scion and the Deputy Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu, Udhayanidhi Stalin.

On 4 December 2024, the DMK minister for HR&CE PK Sekar Babu shared a post stating, “Humanitarian Udhay Day – Udayam 10 #HBDDyCMUdhay All beings are equal! May dawn (Udayam) rise everywhere!! On the occasion of the birthday of Hon. Deputy Chief Minister – Youth wing Secretary Mr. @udhaystalin, today (04.12.2024), a grand welfare assistance program held on behalf of the Chennai (East) and Egmore North Area Youth wing at Kosapet Arignar Anna Social Welfare Center, Avadi MLA and Hon.

In another post, on 4 December 2024, DMK Minister for Medical and Family Welfare, Ma. Subramanian, in a series of posts shared celebration of DMK scion Udhayanidhi Stalin’s birthday in a grand manner.

Even School Education Minister Anbil Mahesh was seen celebrating the DMK scion’s birthday on 2 December 2024, at the height of the cyclone’s impact on the state.

In this regard, AIADMK Organizing Secretary and former Finance Minister D. Jayakumar has condemned these celebrations, stating, “At a time when even the most marginalized people of Tamil Nadu are shedding tears after seeing the flood damage in Villupuram and Tiruvannamalai, ministers who should be responsible are holding birthday parties called ‘Udayanini Udayanaal’! The people will soon answer these slave ministers!”
