What did Stalin's post say?

On the occasion of Ugadi, Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin posted on his official Twitter account. In it, he said that he would like to extend his Ugadi greetings to the Telugu and Kannada speaking Dravidian brothers and sisters who are welcoming the New Year with new hopes. In the face of linguistic and political threats like the forced implementation of Hindi language and the redivision of constituencies, he said in his message that there is a great need for all the people of the South to remain united.

Moreover, he concluded his post by saying, “We must all together defeat every attempt to undermine our rights and our identity. May this Ugadi stand as an inspiration for our unity.” Stalin’s post, which also wished Ugadi in Telugu and Kannada, surprised people.

What is the reason for the anger of the Kannada people?

The Kannada people reacted strongly to Stalin's comments. They were particularly angered by his reference to "Kannadigas as Dravidian brothers". According to the Kannada people, they do not consider themselves Dravidians. They gave a stern counter to the Tamil Nadu Chief Minister, saying that their language and culture are different from the Dravidian tradition.

Moreover, he criticized Stalin's comments, saying, "We are ready to fight with you on the issues of redistricting and forced Hindi language. But we must remember that we are not Dravidians."

Vijay Thalapathy's response

Popular Tamil actor and political leader Vijay Thalapathy also responded to this controversy. He criticized Stalin's comments, saying, "It is not right to call Kannadigas Dravidians, as the Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu." He also accused the DMK party of misleading the people under the guise of the Dravidian model. Not only Vijay, but many Kannada political leaders and social activists expressed their dissatisfaction with Stalin's comments. "We do not agree with calling Kannadigas Dravidians," they said.

Criticism of DMK

The DMK party is based on Dravidian politics. However, DMK leaders often state that the Dravidian ideology is not only relevant to the Tamil people, but applies to all states in South India. However, the Kannada people oppose being considered Dravidians.

Will Stalin respond?

MK Stalin has not yet given any official response to the controversy. However, in the wake of the increasing criticism on social media, he may soon have to give a clarification. Will Stalin apologize to reduce the anger of the Kannada people? Or will he defend his comments? It has become interesting to see.
