Pattali Makkal Katchi (PMK) founder Dr. S. Ramadoss has wittily rebuked Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M.K. Stalin’s recent remarks, in which Stalin suggested that Ramadoss criticizes the government daily due to a lack of other responsibilities.

The controversy began after Ramadoss called for an investigation into allegations of bribery involving the Adani Group, which was mentioned in a U.S. court case related to the Tamil Nadu Electricity Board. In response to this, Stalin commented, “Ramadoss has no other work, has nothing better to do. He makes statements every day, and there’s no need to respond to them.”

This statement sparked backlash from the PMK, with party president Anbumani Ramadoss demanding an apology from Stalin. “If the Chief Minister does not apologize, it will be impossible to control the anger of PMK supporters,” Anbumani warned. PMK cadres, along with the Vanniyar Association, organized widespread protests across the state.

Leaders from other political parties, including BJP state president K. Annamalai, former Tamil Nadu BJP leader Tamilisai Soundararajan, NTK leader Seeman, and TMC leader G.K. Vasan, also criticized Stalin’s comments. In response, the PMK staged statewide protests, reiterating their demand for an apology from the Chief Minister.

In a latest development, Dr. Ramadoss, addressing the media in Chennai, countered Stalin’s remarks with sarcasm, saying, “I don’t have that kind of wisdom he possesses. What can I do? It deeply saddens me that like him I don’t have political wisdom that too a luminous political wisdom.”

The exchange has further escalated political tensions in Tamil Nadu, with the PMK and its allies continuing to press for accountability and respect from the state government.
