The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has strongly condemned Udhayanidhi Stalin, a leader of the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) party and former Deputy Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu, for his recent remarks regarding Sanatana Dharma made in the State Assembly. Union Minister for Coal and Mines G. Kishan Reddy criticized the DMK's approach, labeling it as 'poisonous politics' and accusing the party of engaging in anti-Hindu rhetoric, corruption, and dynastic politics. Reddy emphasized that the people of Tamil Nadu have rejected such politics. BJP spokesperson Shehzad Poonawalla claimed that Stalin's comments were part of a broader strategy of vote-bank politics, referencing a previous Supreme Court ruling that labeled similar remarks as hate speech. He also criticized the Congress party for supporting Stalin's comments and questioned the silence of newly elected Chief Minister Vijay on the matter. Amit Malviya, the head of the BJP's IT cell, warned that mocking the faith of millions could lead to severe consequences, suggesting that Stalin's comments might provoke a backlash from the public.
