DMK Functionary's Controversial Remarks Against PM Modi Go Viral
A video featuring DMK's Tenkasi South District in-charge J Jayabalan has sparked significant political controversy across Tamil Nadu. During a public gathering, Jayabalan made strong remarks about Prime Minister Narendra Modi, comparing him to the mythological demon Narakasura and suggesting that Tamil Nadu would only improve if the Prime Minister was "finished off."
BJP's Strong Reaction and Demand for Action
The Bharatiya Janata Party has responded with strong condemnation to the controversial statements. BJP Tamil Nadu Unit President Nainar Nagendran has officially demanded the immediate arrest of J Jayabalan, citing the remarks as a direct threat against the Prime Minister of India. The BJP leader emphasized that such language against the country's Prime Minister was unacceptable in a democratic setup.
Political Fallout and Public Response
The video, which was originally shared by Press Trust of India on November 19, 2025, quickly went viral across social media platforms, drawing mixed reactions from political circles and the general public. Jayabalan's comments specifically accused PM Modi of attempting to "steal your votes" while making the Narakasura comparison. The timing of this controversy is significant as it comes amid ongoing political preparations in the state.
The incident has intensified the already heated political atmosphere in Tamil Nadu, with both Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam and Bharatiya Janata Party supporters engaging in heated debates online and offline. Political analysts suggest this could have broader implications for inter-party relations and political discourse in the state.
As the video continues to circulate widely, authorities are facing increasing pressure to address the situation, with security concerns being raised given the nature of the statements made against the country's Prime Minister. The development marks another chapter in the ongoing political tensions between the ruling DMK in Tamil Nadu and the central government led by BJP.
