DMK platform speaker Shivaji Krishnamurthy has been sentenced to three years and three months in prison by the Chennai Egmore Court, along with a fine of ₹20,000. The ruling comes in response to his repeated outbursts of vulgar and abusive language targeting prominent figures, including Tamil Nadu Governor R.N. Ravi, BJP state president K. Annamalai, AIADMK leader D. Jayakumar, former Chief Minister Edappadi K. Palaniswami (EPS), and BJP leader Khushbu Sundar.
He is recognized for his frequent use of offensive language in criticizing opposition figures such as BJP State President Annamalai, AIADMK General Secretary Edappadi Palaniswami, former Chief Minister O. Panneer Selvam, VK Sasikala, Khushbu, and others.

In June 2023, at a general meeting commemorating Karunanidhi’s centenary birthday arranged by the Chennai North District DMK, Sivaji Krishnamurthy drew attention for his innuendos linking actress Khushbu and actor Prabhu. He criticized her defection and cautioned aspiring actors against emulating her, portraying her as an old vessel that has undergone refurbishment.
In the same speech, Krishnamoorthy also targeted the Governor’s response to a petition submitted by the DMK demanding the reallocation of VSB’s portfolios. He pointed out the Governor’s apparent change in position, stating, “You said it was wrong, you said you won’t accept. If you were born to your mother, you should have been strong about your stand, ngotha, you changed it.”
He also attacked and body-shamed BJP leader K. Annamalai stating, “If you look at him from one side, he looks like a male, and from another side, he looks like a female. If you look straight, he looks like a ‘rendugattan’ (neither this nor that).”
Sivaji repeatedly referred to D Jayakumar of the ADMK as “Sindhu vootukaaran” (husband of Sindhu). He said, “the same man made a young girl who came looking for work pregnant”, and referred to him as “P*ramboku P*tta, how dare he speak on TV about Senthil Balaji’s arrest”, and goes on to spew further vitriol that Jayakumar was born to someone who sold movie tickets in black.
Prior to this speech, in January 2023, he had made several vitriolic remarks and even threatened to kill Governor RN Ravi.
He said “You (Governor) have taken an oath on the constitution written by Ambedkar. If you are not mentioning his name in your speech, then you go to Kashmir. We’ll send a terrorist to shoot and kill you, L*v*de Ka Bal… Now the CM Stalin has ordered us not to scold the Governor. I would have placed flowers on his feet and thanked him with folded hands if that ‘mayirandi‘ (cuss word in Tamil) had read the speech correctly. But, since that ‘La*ade Ka Bal‘ (cuss word in Hindi meaning pubic hair) refused to read what was given to him and refused to say Ambedkar’s name, don’t I have the right to slap him with a slipper?”
He abused Edappadi Palaniswami saying “Take a look at his teeth. ‘Echa Soru’. If we cut him into pieces, people in eight towns can eat his flesh. He is looking like a fat frog. When Edappadi and the entire world were saying to maintain social distance during COVID, our leader Stalin was the only one who asked us to gather together through ‘Ondrinaivom Vaa’. Our leader, MK Stalin, is not like Edappadi Palaniswami, a fat pig, or O Panneerselvam, who can’t walk, or former Speaker Dhanabal, who looks like he has piles.”
The National Commission for Women (NCW) declared its intention to take action against Sivaji Krishnamurthy for abusing women leaders.
He was later ousted from the DMK and confronted with charges under five sections, resulting in his arrest.
However, on 10 February 2024, the DMK declared that Sivaji Krishnamurthy having expressed ‘remorse’ for his actions has been reinstated as primary member of the party.
After his reinstatement ahead of Lok Sabha elections, he continued to spew abuses against Opposition leaders of Tamil Nadu, Prime Minister Narendra Modi and others.
Very recently, he dragged Trisha to verbally attack TVK head Vijay while body-shaming and derogating AIADMK chief Edappadi K Palaniswami with abuses in Tamil.
