Row Erupts in TN Over TVK Cadre Placing CM Vijay’s Photo in Classroom
The incident reportedly took place in a school near Uthiramerur in Kanchipuram district of Tamil Nadu
Chennai: A political controversy has erupted in Tamil Nadu after cadres of the ruling Tamilaka Vetri Kazhakam (TVK) entered a classroom to place the photo of chief minister Joseph Vijay.
The TVK cadre entered the classroom while classes were going on, and videos shot by the cadre itself are now viral, which shows local TVK leaders, wearing party symbols to the school, speaking about the CM.
The cadres also filmed the incident and posted on social media, to gain publicity, which has now backfired.
The incident reportedly took place in a school near Uthiramerur in Kanchipuram district of Tamil Nadu.
Reacting to the incident, former state BJP chief K Annamalai said on X, “Over the past five years of governance, with government schools having lost their quality even without proper buildings, the current Minister for School Education, brother Thiru Rajmohan Arumugam, has the enormous task ahead of reclaiming their pride.”
He added that such action by the party cadres will only tarnish the dignity of the government schooling system of the state.
“We believe that Chief Minister Thiru Vijay himself would not approve of ruling party members entering government schools and disrupting classes just because they are in power. We urge the Chief Minister and the Minister for School Education to instruct their party members to ensure such incidents do not recur,” Annamalai added.
