TVK leaders condemn Nainar Nagenthran’s remarks against T.N. Chief Minister

The BJP State unit chief, addressing a political gathering, had made a personal jibe at Mr. Vijay, while referring to his remarks in the Assembly

Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) leaders have strongly criticized BJP State president Nainar Nagenthran's comments targeting Chief Minister C. Joseph Vijay, calling them personal and inappropriate for a senior politician. During a political gathering, Nagenthran made a remark directed at Vijay, which prompted a strong reaction from TVK.

Revenue and Disaster Management Minister K.A. Sengottaiyan noted that Nagenthran's position within the political sphere seemed to be waning. Health Minister K.G. Arunraj stated that the government would respond to criticism through its performance, rather than through words, emphasizing the focus on good governance over the past three months.

School Education Minister P. Rajmohan also lambasted Nagenthran's comments, asserting that they were not fitting for a leader of his caliber and urging public representatives to maintain decorum in their conduct. Rajmohan reiterated that TVK would not match Nagenthran's remarks and would continue to adhere to "decent politics" under Vijay's leadership, asserting that the party would maintain this stance even if opponents continued to make provocative or personal statements.
