“IAS And IPS Officers Are The Ones Pulling The Country Down”: Two-Bit Film Reviewing Tamil YouTuber And A Political Turncoat Abuses Indian Civil Service Officers

The Commune

Prashanth Rangasamy, a self-styled film critic and actor, who was seen praising TN BJP chief Annamalai recently has turned into a mouthpiece of the TVK all of a sudden (or was it).

In 2024 during the Lok Sabha polls, he was seen acknowledging Annamalai as an “undeniable political figure in Tamilnadu!”

Prashanth is known for his buttressing of the ruling DMK time and again so it was surprising for netizens to see such comments from him. However, his true colours came out recently when he was found speaking derogatorily about civil servants in an X space with members/followers of part-time politician Vijay’s TVK. He said, “Sanathanam means this – I have passed my IPS, I am egoistic, arrogant, he is just a cinema star, what will he have? Hey, it is these IAS IPS officers are the ones who are pulling the country down. The poor people are working hard for the country. IAS and IPS officers, I am not blaming all, but many of them are doing it, I am not just speaking in the air, they are looting to the rate of 500-600 crores. They are not doing it in cahoots with the poor, it is done with the politicians. So, everywhere it is this bureaucracy that is a headache. It is destroying everything. This bureaucracy is sitting in ECR. All of the officers have bought land from there until Mahabalipuram. We can’t even dream of the lives they are living. I know a lady IAS officer, who has imported teak from Japan. No one knows whether teak is found in Japan. She imported teak from there (Japan) and has decorated/furnished her house with it. We can build 3 houses with the budget of a window of that house she built. They are all living a royal life. They are not bothered if we people are alive. It is this bureaucracy that is controlling everyone who enters the system.”

 

In December 2022, Prashanth, a known DMK supporter, was caught contradicting his past stance on Aadhaar linking. While he previously criticized the Modi government for linking Aadhaar to bank accounts, calling it dictatorial, he is now praising the DMK government for mandating Aadhaar linking with electricity connections. When exposed, he initially denied opposing Aadhaar linking under Modi, but netizens unearthed his old tweets proving otherwise. He later tried to justify his hypocrisy by claiming he only opposed the implementation, not the scheme itself, highlighting his double standards in defending the DMK’s actions.

He also went overboard in “welcoming” Pakis and abusing the non-left who questioned his stand during the Pak Vs Afg World Cup series match in October 2023.

This same Prashanth Rangaswamy who had peddled the watch “sports as sports” trope had said that he won’t extend a warm welcome to Sri Lanka players back in 2013.

 

He even made insensitive comments about a tragic accident involving a mother and her child. After a lady’s baby accidentally fell from a balcony but was miraculously rescued, she faced relentless online trolling, which deeply affected her. Amid this, Prashanth posted a callous remark questioning whether the parents even deserved a child. His comment fueled the public shaming of Ramya, who later died by suicide.

Following her death, his remark received severe backlash from netizens, who blamed him and other trolls for their insensitivity and lack of empathy.

In what seems like an attack on BJP TN Chief Annamalai, Prashanth has indulged in abusing Indian Civil Service Officers peddling half-truths in the process.
