“முதலமைச்சரே உருவக் கேலி செய்திருப்பது பொறுப்பற்ற செயல்!” – பெ. சண்முகம்

According to News7 Tamil, CPI(M) state secretary P. Shanmugam has publicly criticized the Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu, characterizing his recent remarks as 'irresponsible.' Shanmugam alleged that the Chief Minister engaged in body shaming during his address, asserting that the Chief Minister's rebuttal failed to provide substantive answers to the issues raised by the opposition.

The criticism centers on the decorum of political discourse within the state assembly. Shanmugam, representing the Communist Party of India (Marxist), argued that the Chief Minister’s choice of language was beneath the dignity of his office and served as a distraction from the policy-based questions posed by his political rivals. The party has demanded a more serious approach to legislative debates, emphasizing that personal remarks should not replace accountability in governance.

This incident highlights the ongoing tensions between the ruling administration and opposition parties in Tamil Nadu. As of now, there has been no official response from the Chief Minister’s office regarding these specific allegations of body shaming. The CPI(M) continues to push for a more transparent and respectful dialogue in the state's political arena, signaling that they intend to keep the pressure on the government regarding these concerns in upcoming sessions.
