At a public meeting held in Coimbatore, DMK spokesperson Sivaji Krishnamurthy, who is well-known for his crass and abusive remarks at any person or politician outside the DMK, ‘responded’ to criticism from Tamilaga Vetri Kazhagam (TVK) chief, actor Vijay, who had alleged that women were not safe in Tamil Nadu.
After dragging Trisha into the issue, he spoke in a vulgar fashion while bodyshaming AIADMK chief Edappadi K Palaniswami.
He said, “If there is one party that is ready to give its life to protect you, it is none other than the DMK. No other party would sacrifice its very life to save you. We asked back then, I call him “Pallu” Palaniswami. In that Rajini movie Chandramukhi, that Vadivelu character who keeps getting beaten up and almost dies, the teeth look exactly like that fellow. Look at those teeth, see how they stick out. Just imagine it. Take your cellphone and try matching it – put Vadivelu’s head and our Edappadi Palaniswami’s head half and half. It will match perfectly.”
Continuing, he said, “That day, when our elder brother Thalapathy (Stalin) was the Leader of the Opposition, he told Palaniswami,‘You sinner! Buses aren’t running, trains aren’t running, factories aren’t operating, shops aren’t functioning. People are dying of starvation. Didn’t we ask you to give ₹5,000? Or did we not?’ How much did he give? ₹1000. What did he say – ‘You just casually say give ₹5,000. Where is the money? From whose account should I give it?’ And he gave ₹1,000. In this town, how much is the monthly cable TV fee? ₹250, right? If you pay ₹250 for four months, how much is it? ₹1000. Now that is equal to the ₹1000 that Okk**a ol* Annan gave. People were living with their stomachs tied tight with wet cloths because of hunger.”
He further said, “We said then, we don’t know how much money is there in the coffers. What we thought was that he must have spent all the notes and kept some loose change aside. At least from that, he could give ₹4,000. Our brother Thalapathy asked for ₹5,000. You gave ₹1,000. When Muthuvel Karunanidhi Stalin comes to power, I will give the ₹4,000 that you refused to give. But when we came to power and looked at the coffers, only then did we understand – this fellow didn’t just lick Sasikala’s feet, he licked everything clean, every last container. Only when we went there did we realise that.”
