When Will She Be Deputy CM?: AIADMK’s Trisha Jibe Sparks Row
The remarks come almost a week after Leader of Opposition Udhayanidhi Stalin was detained for alleged insulting remarks against the actor
Chennai: AIADMK leader R B Udayakumar mocked Tamil Nadu Chief Minister C Joseph Vijay on Tuesday asking him when he would make Trisha, who has acted with him in many films, a deputy CM. The remarks come almost a week after Leader of Opposition Udhayanidhi Stalin was detained for alleged insulting remarks against the actor.
Though there was no official reaction from those whom he targeted, in his viral video the former minister could be heard saying that the TVK government was appointing individuals closely associated with the Chief Minister, specifically producers and technical crew members who worked in his films, to various official government positions.
Udayakumar went on to name the persons appointed as temple trustee, Tamil Nadu government's special representative in New Delhi, personal secretary to CM, head of state film training institute, as government advisors, and sarcastically wondered when Trisha would be appointed as his deputy CM.
