In remarks that could stoke fresh controversy, All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (AIADMK) leader R B Udhayakumar on Tuesday took a swipe at Tamil Nadu Chief Minister C Joseph Vijay, asking him when he would appoint actor Trisha as Deputy Chief Minister.
Latest Update
His remarks came days after former Tamil Nadu Deputy Chief Minister Udhayanidhi Stalin sparked an uproar with his offensive remarks apparently aimed at the actor. Stalin was arrested for over 10 hours before being released last week.
In a viral video, Udhayakumar can be heard saying that the Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (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.
The former state minister went on to name the persons appointed as temple trustee, Tamil Nadu government’s special representative in New Delhi, personal secretary to the Chief Minister, head of state film training institute, as government advisors, and sarcastically remarked when Trisha would be appointed as deputy Chief Minister.
