“Has Affairs, Became MP Through Backdoor”: Tamil Netizens Slam DMK MP Tiruchi Siva For Insulting Kamaraj To Glorify Karunanidhi

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. In just nine years, Kamaraj achieved what most political parties couldn’t do in any decades. He led a life of simplicity and integrity, prioritizing public welfare over personal comfort a legacy no one in power today has dared to match.

Since Tiruchi Siva’s remarks, social media has been abuzz with backlash, with users mocking him both personally and politically. Many demanded a formal apology and called on the DMK leadership to take strict action against him.

Even Congress MLA Rajesh Kumar subtly criticized Tiruchi Siva, remarking, “Tiruchi Siva said Kamaraj won’t sleep without AC. But everyone knows who can’t sleep without whom.” While refraining from a direct attack, he added, “Considering coalition ethics, I have to register my condemnation courteously.”

However, he didn’t hold back entirely, warning, “I want to state that individuals like Trichy Siva, who lack personal integrity and are enjoying power through the back door without meeting the people or making way for younger generations, will face severe consequences if they continue to speak about Karmaveerar Kamarajar.

Meanwhile, netizens took the gloves off, resurfacing a viral 2016 incident in which former AIADMK MP Sasikala Pushpa slapped Tiruchi Siva. Pictures of the two available online shows them being in some form of close relationship. With biting sarcasm, many said, “If Kamaraj couldn’t sleep without AC, then Siva can’t sleep without S**ikala P*sh*a.”
