Ahead of the birth anniversary of late DMK patriarch Karunanidhi, the hashtag “#HBDFatherOfCorruption” started trending from the evening of June 2 with more than 60K tweet.
From the DMK’s side the hashtag “#KalaignarForever” was being used to commemorate the late leader’s birth anniversary.
This has turned out to be an yearly Twitter war between the supporters and rivals of the DMK.
Last year, an ‘official’ logo was also released to commemorate the occasion. This year too a logo has been released and netizens have been showcasing their creativity with rib-tickling memes, cartoons and one-liners about Karunanidhi.
The DMK under Karunanidhi is guilty of several other corruption charges and failures. The party was part of the biggest ever corruption case in the history of India – 2G spectrum case. Karunanidhi in order to save his seat, went soft on the UPA government headed by its alliance partner Congress, by organizing lip service protests while thousands of Tamils in Sri Lanka were killed in the civil war in Sri Lanka. He is said to have undertaken the ‘fastest fast’ by starting the fast after breakfast and ending it before lunch.
As of 08:00 AM, #HBDFatherOfCorruption crossed more than 1 lakh tweets. Here is a look at some of them:
6,863நாட்கள் மட்டுமே ஒரு மாநிலத்தை ஆட்சி செய்தவர், வல்லரசு நாடுகளை ஆட்சி செய்தவர்களை விட பல நூறு மடங்கு அதிகம் சொத்து சேர்த்தார். தன் மொத்த குடும்பத்தை ஆசியாவில் பணக்கார குடும்பமாக மாற்றினார், கட்சியையும் தன் குடும்ப சொத்தாகவே மாற்றினார்! அவர் தான் கலைஞர்
