BJP Chief K Annamalai from the Tamil Nadu constituency hit back at DMK, stating in a post on ‘X’, “DMK’s sudden obsession with Bhagwan Shri Ram is truly a sight to behold, who would’ve thought”. This post came after another declaration from DMK’s Law Minister Thiru Raghupathy, who mentioned that Bhagwan Shri Ram was the ultimate champion of social justice and the pioneer of secularism. Further in the post, the BJP leader called S. S. Sivasankar a ‘scam-tainted DMP Transport Minister’.
