“Worms In Food, Foul Water, No Books, Govt Hostels Have Become A Breeding Ground Of Disease” TN BJP Chief Nainar Nagenthiran Slams DMK’s ‘Social Justice Hostels’

Tamil Nadu BJP President Nainar Nagenthiran has strongly criticized the DMK government, accusing it of using the label “Social Justice Hostels” as a smokescreen while failing to address the appalling living conditions in government-run hostels. Highlighting the situation in Chennai, he pointed out that 36 college hostels under the government’s purview are in a deplorable state lacking basic infrastructure and posing serious health risks to students.

Nagenthiran alleged that students are being served worm-infested food and are forced to consume foul-smelling water. The hostels, he claimed, suffer from crumbling infrastructure, unhygienic toilets, and a complete lack of cleanliness. In many cases, due to staff shortages, students themselves are made to clean the toilets.

Taking to social media platform X, Nagenthiran mocked the DMK’s claims of promoting social justice, suggesting the name change of these hostels was simply an attempt to mask financial mismanagement. He questioned whether public funds were being misappropriated under the guise of welfare programs.

He further criticized the government’s announcement of having spent ₹21 lakh to establish libraries in 23 hostels, stating that several of these so-called libraries lack essential books and functional internet access. In addition, he pointed out that evening snacks meant for hostel residents are not being provided, and the ₹150 supposedly allocated per student for health and nutrition improvements is not reaching its intended recipients.

Nagenthiran concluded his remarks by raising concerns about the condition of hostels in rural areas if such severe neglect is evident in the state capital. He warned that the public would soon reject what he called a “fake social justice model” that prioritizes propaganda over genuine student welfare.

His full statement read, “It’s shocking to learn that the 36 government “Social Justice Hostels” for college students in Chennai have become breeding grounds for disease and uninhabitable residences, lacking even basic amenities. The DMK government’s renaming of these government hostels, which are plagued by worm-infested food, foul-smelling water, poorly maintained toilets, and dilapidated buildings as “Social Justice Hostels” while claiming to uphold social justice for poor students has raised suspicion that was this merely a cover-up for embezzling public funds? For instance, while the DMK government boasts about spending ₹21 lakh on establishing libraries in 23 government hostels, many of these libraries lack books or proper internet facilities. Furthermore, the evening snacks meant for students are not being provided, and even the ₹150 allocated for students’ health improvement isn’t reaching them. Making the matter worse, due to a lack of sufficient staff, students are even forced to clean the hostel toilets themselves. If the condition of government hostels in the state capital is so dire, what would be the  plight of those in the remote corners of Tamil Nadu? It’s certain that the public will soon reject this fake social justice model government, which prioritizes self-promotion over student welfare and perpetrates injustice.”
