Video Of DMK Minister Threatening Govt Doctor Goes Viral

A video of DMK Water Resource Minister Duraimurugan threatening to transfer a government doctor to Kanyakumari while inspecting Ponnai Primary Health Center along with Tamil Nadu Minister for Health and Public Welfare M. Subramanian is going viral.

Ponnai Primary Health Center in Vellore Kaatpaadi was inspected by Minister for Health and Public Welfare Ma Subramanian and Water Resources Minister Duraimurugan on Wednesday (Oct 5).

In this occasion, there were allegations that despite being located in a hilly location, the hospital lacked snakebite medications and that the doctors weren’t frequently on duty. In relation to this Minister M. Subramanian has already recommended transfer of the 2 concerned doctors.

The Water Resource Minister, who was also present for the inspection, said furiously to the duty doctor, “Where are you hailing from? The doctor should be thrown (transferred) to Kanya Kumari.” This video of Minister Duraimurugan threatening the government doctor has gone viral in social media.

Earlier this week, another such video of minister Duraimurugan saying they’re getting ‘change in lower denominations’ to give one thousand rupees to the heads of the families went viral on social media.

Of late, DMK Ministers have embroiled themselves in controversies because of their behaviour and talk in public.

Recently, a couple of other Ministers, including Higher Education Minister K Ponmudy, DMK MP A Raja, and Revenue Minister KKSSR Ramachandran, were involved in loose talks, and their statements went viral on social media, inviting criticism from opposition parties.

The Chief Minister was forced to warn his ministers to exercise extreme caution when making public speeches and interacting with the general public.
