The Thoothukudi police have filed a case against Tamil Nadu Minister for Fisheries Anitha R Radhakrishnan for his alleged derogatory remarks against Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
“Aren’t you those who wanted to kill Kamaraj when he was sleeping,” the minister was heard saying in a video in an apparent response to PM Modi, who had invoked Congress icon K Kamaraj at a rally.
- DMK leaders have reached a new low in their uncouth behaviour by passing vile comments against the PM, said BJP state chief Annamalai.
“We have booked the minister under section 294B (using obscene words in public), based on a complaint by a BJP functionary,” according to police.
The state BJP has also written to the Election Commission for action against the minister.

Sharing the video on X, BJP state Chief Annamalai said, “DMK leaders have reached a new low in their uncouth behaviour by passing vile comments & unpardonable public discourse against our Hon PM”.
“DMK MP Smt Kanimozhi avl was on the stage and did not bother to stop her colleague,” he added.
K Kamaraj, a former chief minister of the erstwhile Madras State, was a Congress icon from Tamil Nadu. PM Modi had invoked Kamaraj at an election rally in Salem last week, saying his honesty and revolutionary schemes like mid-day meals have been big inspiration for him.
Targeting the Prime Minister, DMK’s Anitha R Radhakrishnan is heard saying in the video, “You speak as if Kamaraj hugged you.”
