In the Dindigul parliamentary constituency, Satchithanandam, representing the Marxist Communist Party, is a candidate in the I.N.D.I Alliance led by the DMK. Seeking support from the electorate, Udhayanidhi Stalin, the DMK Minister for Youth Welfare and Sports Development, appealed for votes at Natham Bus Station, endorsing the Sickle Hammer symbol.

Reflecting on the COVID-19 pandemic, Udhayanidhi contrasted the leadership styles of Prime Minister Modi and the Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu, emphasizing the latter’s focus on vaccination and direct engagement with affected individuals. He praised the Chief Minister’s courage and highlighted the resilience of the people of Tamil Nadu in navigating the pandemic.

Udhayanidhi Stalin said, “We came to power in 2021 and you know what the situation was. COVID pandemic second wave, do you remember? Corona… What did Narendra Modi Union Prime Minister do then? What did he say? He told everyone to go into the house and hide, lock the house, one day suddenly he asked everyone to come out, keep a candle, keep a plate in hand, make a sound and the Covid will run away. Didn’t he say that? Some of us even followed what he said. Don’t forget that.”

“But what did our leader do, he said that vaccine was the only medicine to eradicate Covid, that awareness was the only medicine, and took the vaccine himself, the only chief minister in India who went to the Covid ward in Coimbatore, wearing the Covid PPE kit – only our TN Chief Minister. Moreover, it was our people of Tamil Nadu who guided India that vaccination is the only way to remedy for Covid.”

The remarks made by the DMK scion Udhayanidhi Stalin sparked interest among internet users. They dug out old videos of MK Stalin stating something totally different to counter Udhayanidhi Stalin’s lies.

MK Stalin was seen fear mongering with respect to the Covid vaccine. However, now, Udhayanidhi praised his father MK Stalin’s “efforts” in distributing the vaccine to the public. Let us examine Stalin’s speech from the past.

In a speech by the then LOP MK Stalin in February 2021, just around the time when the vaccines were being rolled out to citizens, he raised numerous questions about COVID’s origin and treatment. In one of the ‘gram sabha meet’ organized as part of his election campaign in Maduravoyal, Chennai he said “There is news coming about vaccines. We don’t know if it is 100% success. It will be known only later. The Prime Minister has not taken it (vaccine). The Chief Minister (Edappadi K. Palaniswami) has not taken it. Some doctors are taking it. A few others are taking it. Because, it is just like they are testing (on doctors and other people).”

The online community proceeded to criticize the father-son duo for their deceptive storyline in their election campaign, aiming to manipulate underprivileged for political advantage.
