TN Minister Under Fire Over Dance Video
A video from Udhayanidhi Stalin’s birthday celebration has triggered political controversy after Tamil Nadu minister S Periyakaruppan was seen seated in the front row watching a dance performance. The clip shows women performing in revealing outfits while the minister appears to applaud and gesture during the event. The video has since gone viral, prompting public criticism.
Opposition Slams DMK Leadership
The Bharatiya Janata Party and other opposition groups called the visuals “shameful,” alleging that the performance was inappropriate for an event hosted by a ruling-party leader. They accused the DMK of lacking moral responsibility and demanded accountability from both the minister and the organisers. Several leaders argued that such an event undermines public office and sets a poor example.
DMK Faces Questions Over Event Conduct
The controversy has raised concerns about judgment and decorum in political functions. Critics questioned why such performances were allowed and whether the ruling party vetted the programme’s content. As the video continues to circulate widely, pressure is mounting on the DMK to issue an official clarification.
Awaited Response From Minister And Party
Neither the minister nor DMK leadership has issued a formal response so far. Political observers expect the party to address the issue soon as public debate intensifies.
