Gulte Movie News And Politics
Tamil Nadu has found a solid chief minister in the form of Thalapathy Vijay, who was able to get more than 35% vote share in his very first election campaign itself. The public supported him so much that even nameless candidates became MLAs just because of the Vijay factor.
But it turns out that this public mandate is being mis represented by certain public representatives associated with the TVK government. Earlier there was this incident where a TVK minister faced allegation of drug abuse in public places.
Now there is this viral video of another sitting MLA and also the deputy speaker of Tamil Nadu Assembly Ravi Shankar facing the music.
A huge controversy broke out when a viral video of the deputy speaker Ravi Shankar assaulting a common man who approached him on civic issues grabbed public negativity.
The man, identified as Karthik Kumar, initially accused the MLA of assaulting him when he approached him with complaints about drinking water shortages and garbage accumulation in his neighbourhood in Tiruchirappalli district.
According to Kumar, his area had been facing drinking water shortages for nearly a week, while garbage continued to pile up. However, the TVK MLA did not react kindly to this complaint as he physically assaulted the individual.
This video immediately went viral on social media, and there was a lot of public criticism on the TVK government too. This isn’t the first time that a public representative associated with Vijay’s party is generating public backlash either.
When Vijay was selected as the chief minister of Tamil Nadu, there was this wide hope that he would change the violent and dominant Tamil politics. Vijay himself appears to be fully committed for the job, but his MLAs have been making it horribly difficult for him.
It has to be seen how Vijay would react to this situation and amend his MLAs. It has been barely six months and there are already a handful of incidents.
