Rajya Sabha DMK MP T.K.S. Elangovan has publicly expressed concerns over Tamil Nadu Finance Minister PTR Palanivel Thiagarajan’s public rants on social media saying that politicians must exercise restraint and not go ‘free with words’.
In an interview with journalist Sandhya Ravishankar, the DMK MP said that Palanivel Thiagarajan gets provoked easily. “For a politician, one must be little restrained. That is what I used to tell him. Opposition will try to provoke (sic) you, but don’t get provoked (sic). Because being a politician is a different ballgame as people are watching us. When we are in power, people expect action from us. Not fight with others. That is what I always advise him. But he gets easily provoked (sic). That is the problem.”, he said.
He also said that CM Stalin is watching every Minister’s actions and has been advising them on how to talk to the media and public. He said that MK Stalin had already advised Palanivel Thiagarajan to not be loose with his words and that he would re-emphasize it once again.
Palaniel Thiagarajan has been making headlines for matters unrelated to his portfolio. He has made a number of contentious statements against different public personalities on his social media and frequently indulges in cyber-bullying of even common netizens.
Recently, he had spewed abuses on journalists, opposition politicians as well as common netizens who had questioned him his non-participation in the recently concluded GST Council Meeting at Lucknow.
He kept making ‘cow urine’ barbs which is usually done by rabid Hindumisic elements to insult those who worship cows.
Responding to a woman cadre of the BJP who had asked him if he really skipped the GST Council meeting to attend baby shower function of his sister-in-law, Palanivel Thiagarajan cyber-bullied her and called her a person ‘whose brain has been spoilt by drinking cow urine’.
வடிகட்டிய முட்டாள்தனம்🤦♂️
கூட்டம் நடந்தது டெல்லியில் இல்லை லக்னோவில்🤦♂️
எனக்கு கொழுந்தியாள் இல்லை, எப்படி இல்லாதவர் மகளுக்கு விழா நடக்கும்🤦♂️
பொய் சொல்வதற்கு கூட ஒரு குறைந்தபட்ச அறிவு வேண்டுமடா மாட்டு மூத்திரம் குடித்தே மூளை கெட்டுப் போனவர்களா🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️ https://t.co/0uoSq3Aalc

He had also used derogatory words like ‘schizophrenic’, ‘dolt’ and other abuses on BJP Tamil Nadu President K. Annamalai unbefitting of the position he holds.
So…the schizophrenic “Kannadiga till I die,” except when “100% Tamil”, OR “IPS-version” threat issuer, turns out to be the Fake-News-Dolt-in-Chief🤣
And his position on Petrol/Diesel in GST is 100% opposite of BJP Govt’s @ Delhi, UP, Gujarat etc.
With opponents like this🎁🎉🎊 https://t.co/6AEk5I72ui
