The recent interview featuring DMK Minister Udhayanidhi Stalin and Dravidianist journalist Kathigaichelvan, the Editor of News18 Tamil, has come under criticism for the perceived lack of rigor in the questions directed at the DMK leader. Many have voiced dissatisfaction with the seemingly informal tone of the interview. Tamil Nadu Bharatiya Janata Party President K Annamalai expressed discontent with the quality of questions, deeming them unserious and characterising the overall interview as excessively “friendly.” Annamalai has openly shared his disapproval during discussions with news reporters, providing further insights into his perspective on the matter.

Annamalai received “backlash” from DMK members and supporters for his using the phrase, “carefully done with touching the teeth”. DMK MP and half-sister to Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin criticised the comments made by Annamalai. Taking to social media platform X, Kanimozhi wrote, “Recently BJP leader Mr. @annamalai_k made derogatory remarks about a minister of a state and a senior journalist, these are strongly condemned. A person doing this constantly lowers the quality of politics. I strongly condemn this.”

Netizens were quick to point out her step-nephew Udhayanidhi Stalin’s speeches and comments from the past. They pointed out to Kanimozhi whether she cared to condemn her step-nephew and state minister’s speeches and comments.

In an undated video shared by a netizen, Udhayanidhi is seen saying, “I said Edappadi’s rule, someone said no not Edappadi’s rule, Assistant’s rule. Assistant? Whose assistant? Modi’s assistant (someone who does menial jobs). Another one said, no he is not an assistant, he is a dead body! Dead body? Yes, he lay down like that, he fell at Sasikala’s feet like that only (indicating how EPS prostrated in front of Sasikala in 2016), going under the tables and chairs there, he would have gone between her legs also.” The crowd can be seen laughing hysterically over the “joke”.

Udhayanidhi also has shared photos derogating former Chief Minister J Jayalalithaa. In the post, he wrote, “Close enough! I promise this is not photoshop”. In the post, he posted two pictures: one featuring Jayalalithaa during her days as an actor, and the other showcasing actor Namitha. Both of them raised their hands in a pose for the pictures.

Some others shared a collection of clippings of various speeches and statements made by the DMK cadre. Here is a collection of 12 clippings featuring different members of the DMK who have made vulgar speeches. 

In the first video, a speaker belonging to the DMK says “Can you respond like Kalaignar? In 1957, Kalaignar and Anna spoke for 2 hours in the Assembly – We want a separate state, we want Dravidanadu. After speaking for 2 hours, Anna sits down. He was asked, “Mr Annadurai, where is Dravidanadu?” Anna thought, I spoke for 2 hours and this woman is asking me where is Dravidanadu. Kalaignar immediately gets up and says, Respected Speaker, our leader spoke for 2 hours about Dravidanadu, about the history, you listened to all this and the member asks where is Dravidanadu? Remove the naada (thread) and lift the skirt (pavadai) you can find Dravidanadu!”

In another video, A Raja says, “Stalin was born from a legitimate relationship and through a “healthy and normal” delivery, EPS was born out of wedlock/illegitimate relationship.”

Shivaji Krishnamoorthy who is known to run his mouth unnecessarily making vulgar and crass comments has been featured 4 times in this clipping collection. In the first clipping, “Why Okkala Oli (cuss word in Tamil), the wastrel who sold tea, the one who goes around the world in people’s money, do you want Okkala Oli Narendra Modi or do you want Rahul Gandhi, the one who gave his own wealth to the country?” Then he goes on to speak a few words in Hindi mimicking Modi. 

In another clipping, he is seen saying “The ADMK cadres at the bottom, they said, let us make Chinnamma a mother. What I thought was Natarajan (Sasikala) could not make her a mother (pregnant) in these 32 years, how will these people do it?”

In another clipping, he says, “In ADMK there used to be a CR Shastri, an old anda (big vessel). They would repeatedly coat it with metal and over the years, it got destroyed. That anda would come and stand at the door. She would say, I just combed my mother’s hair, she said make it a bun and not a braid, she ate idli, I gave her sambar too, she asked why Sarasu why is the dal not mashed, I told her this is Amma’s dal and it is not mashing well. Earlier they called her Chinnamma instead of Sasikala. Now they are calling her Sasikala, the servant maid. You guys rolled and licked the servant maids, you p*tta B**** (bastards?)”

In yet another clipping, he says, “Immediately Narendra Modi says Rahul Gandhi Pappu. I don’t know what that means in Hindi. Is it monkey? Now he has been travelling for the past one month, he now says sappu (suck it)”

A DMK member says, “There was a guy named Velumani. Do you know how he looks? He hasn’t been to Bombay to get his operation done. Yes, he looks just like that.” (indicating transgender features).

In another video featuring Gudiyatham Ramesh (who was recently in the news for exposing Duraimurugan’s alleged corruption through illegal sand smuggling), says, “They bring an item from Kodambakkam called Vindhya (Kollywood actor), she acted in Sangamam movie, she is a number 1 item, an Andhra piece, she went to Bangalore, was an item there, then went to Hyderabad, Rajahmundhry, did prostitution in lodges and then when she went to Hosur for a shooting, a producer who went to ask for her to return the loan he gave her, she said that he raped her and filed a complaint in the police station. The police took VIndhya and admitted her to Hosur Govt hospital and tested if she was indeed raped. The doctors who tested her were shocked. They said there is no need to rape her, she has no virginity, she is a number 1 platform item, take her away they said.”
