Coimbatore:Referring to Udhayanidhi Stalin’s speech in the Tamil Nadu Legislative Assembly while congratulating newly elected Speaker J.C.D. Prabhakar, BJP National Women’s Wing President Vanathi Srinivasan alleged that the DMK continues to follow an anti-Hindu political line despite being voted out of power by the people of Tamil Nadu.

She questioned why the DMK did not prominently include its stand on “abolishing Sanatana Dharma” in its election manifesto or campaign speeches if it was truly a core ideological position. She also pointed out that DMK president M.K. Stalin had stated during the final phase of the election campaign that the party was “not against Hindus,” claiming that the public ultimately rejected that narrative.

Vanathi Srinivasan further alleged that with the Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam government led by Chief Minister Joseph Vijay now in power, the DMK fears losing its traditional minority support base. According to her, Udhayanidhi Stalin’s renewed remarks on Sanatana Dharma reflect an attempt to revive identity-based political mobilisation after the party’s electoral defeat.

She further claimed that without minority support, the DMK would become “politically irrelevant,” and alleged that with a section of minority voters now backing TVK, the DMK has once again begun taking an anti-Sanatana Dharma stance to regain their attention and support.

Vanathi Srinivasan added that the people of Tamil Nadu had already understood what she described as the DMK’s “double standards” and removed the party from power, warning that the public would continue to hold the party accountable if such rhetoric persists.
