India Today

A political controversy has erupted in Tamil Nadu following sharp remarks by the opposition targeting the personal life and family matters of the Chief Minister. The opposition questioned the public projection of the Chief Minister as a family figure and criticised recent public appearances. In response, a state minister condemned the personal attacks, stating that the main opposition party has deviated from the principles established by its founders. The minister emphasised the need for civil politics, asserting that dragging personal lives and families into political discourse is unacceptable, while maintaining that their leadership advocates for dignity despite criticism from political rivals.

00:00Okay, let's switch over to news from Tamil Nadu and the big controversy that's playing out right now

00:05over former Tamil Nadu Chief Minister, AIA, DMK Chief, Edapati Parniswami's comments against Chief Minister Vijay.

00:12We've constantly seen Chief Minister Vijay's personal life being dragged into the spotlight by the opposition.

00:17The latest on that list is EPS, who took a jibe at Chief Minister Vijay's image of being

00:23mama, Anna, uncle, brother, Tambi, younger brother, to the people of Tamil Nadu.

00:29That's a projection the TVK has constantly made.

00:32It is over this that EPS has, in fact, attacked the TVK and attacked Chief Minister Vijay,

00:37saying someone who's not a family man himself, what will he understand about the love that a family shares,

00:43suggesting, essentially, and highlighting the fact that you've got the Chief Minister going through the divorce proceeding with his wife,

00:50Sangeeta.

00:50Highlighting his personal life once again, EPS took this jibe, leading to a political showdown and a response also from

00:57the TVK.

00:58In fact, it wasn't just EPS, but you had DMDK Chief Premalata Vijay Kanta also mocking Vijay and Trisha,

01:06saying that their appearance together in UK at that race with superstar Ajit was disgusting.

01:12That's the word she used.

01:13Now, right after that, you had Adhavarjuna, the Tamil Nadu minister, responding to EPS,

01:19saying that AIA DMK has lost his essence.

01:22It's nowhere close to what they represented when the AIA DMK was under MGR or AMMA.
