All-in-all commentator Sumanth Raman is back in the news. This time he has targeted Tamil Nadu Bharatiya Janata Party president and the Tamil Brahmin community in Tamil Nadu.
In what seemed like a targeted attack on both Annamalai and the Tamil Brahmins, Sumanth Raman posted the following on his X handle.
“A large group of people from a community in Tamil Nadu rooting strongly for a man who despises their community, has not given a single ticket to a member of that community and has systematically purged the State unit of the party of leaders from that community is the strangest thing I’m seeing in the TN elections in 2024.”

Netizens taught him a lesson how how neither the Brahmins of the state nor Annamalai are casteist by nature.
Thanks for agreeing our Brahmin brothers and sisters were never caste conscious as others 👍
Nation first… they didn’t elect Modi seeing his caste, they obviously don’t see Annamalai with a caste lens !
You are a bigot !

Simple, this community you refer to, are not asking for reservations! They want growth & development in the State. And they don't want temple money in wrong hands

A community that puts nation above its own interests should be appreciated, not viewed as a strange anomaly. The normalisation of vote bank politics in our state is jarring. https://t.co/6FJsNlV1dk

1. There is no evidence to this statement "for a man who despises their community"
2. "not given a single ticket to their community": Most Brahmins do not care. I opposed this argument when BJP was accused that muslims were not given tickets. Will continue to oppose now too.— Sowmithro Lakshmana Athreya (@sowathreya) April 18, 2024
Some shared pictures of Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman and External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar indicating that the BJP is not averse to Brahmins in any way.

Others questioned whether Congress or any other political party did anything for Brahmins of the state.
Neenga sombu thookira Congress Tamil Naatula ethana Brahminsukku vaaipu koduthanga?
Annamalai has earned our trust. We will support him. Malcontents like you, https://t.co/ldFgpFUPuP.Sekhar, Kishore Swamy, Gayathri Raghuram can cry in a corner. You guys do not represent us. https://t.co/tRGLTwityp— Sowmithro Lakshmana Athreya (@sowathreya) April 18, 2024
