Former Tamil Nadu BJP president K. Annamalai has strongly condemned DMK’s Jayankondam MLA, K.S.K. Kannan, following a viral video that sparked public outrage. The footage shows villagers confronting the MLA with a bottle of visibly contaminated drinking water, highlighting the poor water quality in their area. In response, Kannan is seen angrily grabbing the bottle, tossing it aside, and driving away, an act that has drawn widespread criticism from both the public and political figures.
Reacting to the incident, Annamalai took to his official X account to call out the MLA’s behavior. He stated, “For the past four years, residents of South Thadampettai Pudutheru village, located within the T. Palur Panchayat in Ariyalur District, have been supplied with extremely contaminated drinking water. Despite numerous petitions submitted by the public, even reaching the Member of Legislative Assembly (MLA), no action has been taken so far to provide clean drinking water. In this situation, when Mr. K.S.K. Kannan, the Jayankondam MLA, visited a nearby village today, some residents from the village attempted to show him the contaminated water from their village by bringing a bottle of it. However, the MLA humiliated the public, snatched the water bottle, threw it away, and drove off in his car. The public elected these representatives to fulfill their basic needs, not to humiliate them. What other job does Mr. K.S.K. Kannan have besides listening to the pleas of the public who have been suffering without clean drinking water for four years? Immediate action must be taken to provide clean drinking water to the villages under T. Palur Panchayat. Mr. K.S.K. Kannan should remember that without the votes of the people, there would be no position or respect before he humiliates them.”
