Udhayanidhi Stalin unfit to enter Assembly, be in public life: Minister Nirmalkumar
The DMK leader spoke like a fourth-rate platform speaker, alleges MDMK chief Vaiko
On August 4, 2026, TVK senior leader and Tamil Nadu Minister for Energy and Law, R. Nirmalkumar, publicly declared Udhayanidhi Stalin to be "unfit to enter the Assembly and be in public life" following his arrest on August 3 for making misogynistic remarks during a demonstration in Thanjavur. Nirmalkumar questioned the family of the DMK Youth Wing Secretary and Leader of the Opposition about their acceptance of his remarks, suggesting he lacked understanding of the Cauvery and Mekedatu issues.
He further stated that Udhayanidhi's attitude towards women disqualified him from holding a position of leadership or participating in public life, implying that if former Tamil Nadu Chief Ministers M.G.R. and Amma were alive, they would have taken similar action against him.
