Dravidianists Indulge In Casteist, Regionalist Accusations Over Viral “Amit Shah Admonishing Tamilisai” Video, Netizens Call Out Hypocrisy

The stage was set for the swearing-in ceremony of TDP President Chandrababu Naidu as the Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh. However, something else caught the imagination of the public. A video of the Union Home Minister allegedly “admonishing” South Chennai BJP candidate and former Telangana governor Tamilisai Sounderarajan went viral on social media platforms. While it is unclear what the conversation was about, given the incidents over the past few days within the Tamil Nadu BJP, everyone assumed Shah was scolding Tamilisai.

The Dravidianists gave it a casteist, regionalist, and “feminist” spin. Here are some posts to demonstrate that:

The Nadar Mahajana Sangam (Association) apparently condemned the “action”. Posters such as the below are said to have been plastered across town. The poster says, “We strongly condemn Amit Shah and Annamalai who insulted the daughter of the Nadar clan, Tamilisai Soundararajan, who is a former governor and insulted her on the public stage. We warn that both of them should issue a public apology immediately or else the people of Tamil Nadu will have to engage in a huge protest.

Dravidianists have hounded Tamilisai for her hair quality, skin color, and height. This has been happening ever since she became the president of TNBJP. Here are a few examples. A DMK leader known for his crass and vulgar speeches has time and again bodyshamed Tamilisai Sounderarajan.
