Opposition has reacted quickly to the viral video featuring the Tamil Nadu Minister. The BJP condemned the video, calling it a “destruction” of Tamil culture as well as a violation of women’s dignity. In a post on social media, the party questioned the ethics of the DMK’s leadership. Why take on a position in government just for entertainment and merriment? The BJP posted the following. The BJP’s post further described the incident as a disgrace and “obscene show”, questioning the DMK leader’s moral authority to address issues of respect for oneself.
AIADMK is another important opposition party that joined with the BJP to condemn the Minister and the ruling party over the video. In its statement, the BJP also expressed concern about women’s safety in the state. They asked how women could ask for help from leaders that “invite women to dance in semi-naked attire and make them clap with enjoyment”. In its conclusion, the party highlighted what they perceive as wider failures of governance. These include issues such as law and order and health. They also suggested that administrations are distracted by “such entertainment.” This viral video continues to stir public discussion and put the DMK under scrutiny.
