DKM councillor Sudha Deen Dayalan's remarks spark row

Now moving on, Chennai police have registered a case against DMK councillor Sudha Dean Dayalan for making alleged derogatory remarks against Tamil Nadu Chief Minister C. Joseph Vijay, triggering protests by the ruling TVK. The controversy dates back to the DMK's Women's Wing event on October 7th. Speaking at the event, the DMK councillor called Chief Minister Vijay a dog and compared his appearance to a dead body. The remarks were made in response to alleged comments about DMK chief M.K. Stalin's appearance. DMK MP Kanimoy and Chennai Mayor Priya Rajan were on stage when the comments were made. She also accused Vijay of winning power through social media reels, failing to fulfil promises and continuing schemes introduced by the DMK government. TVK leader Kanimoy Santosh questioned the conduct of DMK leaders who were on stage during the event. In a post on X, Kanimoi Santosh wrote, Political differences may exist and harsh criticisms may be voiced, but does that justify abandoning the basic respect and political decorum that ought to be maintained on public platforms? The TVK leader has also sought an explanation from DMK's Kanimoi and Mayor Priya Rajan, who was seen laughing when the remarks were made. The TVK has demanded the DMK to take action against Sudha and others present on the stage, accusing them of allowing personal attacks against the Chief Minister. The incident has once again put the spotlight on the war of words between the ruling TVK and the DMK, which has increasingly turned bitter and personal.
