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.
Amit Shah gave a stringent warning to Ex-Governor Tamilisai about something!
Most probably about her comments against Annamalai related to ADMK alliance. pic.twitter.com/WobQIN3WTL

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

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.

The former governor is being treated like this..!
You know why?
Think of any upper caste lady at her place & you will understand the reason.
Madam Tamilisai.. self respect is important for any human!
I hope you will understand this at least now!! pic.twitter.com/nfnFsaoyqr

Nirmala vs Tamilisai
Both are Tamils
But a local daily of Tamil Nadu illustrates them as below!
The reason is very simple:
The Local Daily owners & Nirmala belong to the same community.
Former Governor Tamilisai is body shamed by them.. but she herself doesn't bother about… pic.twitter.com/ZHuZjOAfVD

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.

Netizens Question Dravidianist Hypocrisy
Netizens questioned the Dravidianists and the DMK over their hypocrisy over casteism, feminism, and regionalism.
Atrocities of d-stocks in the past 30 days
– Body shaming and caste identifying Tamilisai akka
– Identifying HM of India as Gujarati
– K1lled a goat in public in the name of trolling Anna
– Dayanidhi abusing migrant UP and Bihar workers
– Abusing Selva Perunthagai for his…— Dravidian Professor (@Dravidian_Prof) June 13, 2024

DMK though constantly portrays itself as anti caste party, DMK’s @edwinarockia shamelessly agrees that their party uses caste to win elections.
Even now in #Tamilisai episode he brings up caste to garner votes. No wonder #dalits suffer in DMK rule 😒 https://t.co/nds9TxrfDt pic.twitter.com/w8kN2KNCiu
