Prashanth Rangasamy, a self-styled film critic and actor, was caught doing favorable propaganda for the DMK government’s scheme to link Aadhar with electricity connections, despite previously calling the same scheme as “imposing dictatorship” when it was being implemented by the Modi government.

The DMK government has instructed all those with an electricity connection in Tamil Nadu to link it with their Aadhar number, which many people interpret as an attempt to stop former Chief Minister Jayalalitha’s 100-unit free electricity scheme.

The ruling DMK government, which has previously opposed linking Aadhar with government schemes, has now asked electricity consumers to link their Aadhar with their EB connection. The same DMK government recently opposed linking voter ID to Aadhar to eliminate dual voters.

This hypocrisy of the DMK government in Aadhar linking has come under severe criticism from the people. As a result, the DMK government and its IT wing have been defending the government’s hypocrisy by citing the scheme’s importance. In one such attempt to hide the hypocrisy of DMK, a DMK supporter and social media influencer congratulated the DMK government on its achievement of linking one crore Aadhar cards to an EB connection.

A netizen named Vij Sriram pointed out that the same people who chastised the Modi government for linking Aadhar to government schemes now praise Stalin for the same scheme and that he thanked the DMK for coming to power so that these DMK sympathizers could be exposed.

After being exposed, the enraged YouTuber Prashanth demanded proof of where he undermined the Modi government’s scheme of linking Aadhar with government schemes.

Netizens users were quick to dig into Prashant’s previous tweets and posted a screenshot of his tweet opposing linking Aadhar with bank accounts, in which he stated that the Indian government was acting like a strict engineering college. He also referred to Modi as a dictator for carrying out the scheme.

Upon getting exposed, he tried to twist the context of his old tweet by saying that he opposed only the way it was implemented and not the scheme itself.
