TVK School Education Minister Rajmohan has come under criticism on social media after a government school student was invited to his office in Chennai and made to sing a song praising the Tamil Nadu government and the minister.
The incident took place at the minister’s office, where a student from a school in Arumbakkam performed a song expressing gratitude to the Tamil Nadu government for opportunities provided to government school students.
During the interaction, the student sang:
“I am a model school student, aren’t I?
I will thank the Tamil Nadu government for giving me this opportunity.
I felt proud studying in a government school.
We will achieve victory in everything, victory everywhere.
Thank you.”
After the performance, Minister Rajmohan congratulated the student and praised her talents.
Responding to the student, the minister said, “Super. All the very best. May you continue to develop your unique talents further and excel in education as well. Brother’s wishes to you. All the best.”
Videos of the interaction later went viral on social media, triggering criticism from activists and social commentators, who accused the minister and the TVK government of encouraging personality glorification through school students.
Critics argued that elected representatives should focus on governance and improving the education system rather than promoting praise songs involving students inside ministerial offices.
