‘Won’t use such words’: DMK MP on ‘Gau Mutra states’ row

DMK MP D N V Senthilkumar stoked a controversy by stating that BJP wins elections only in ‘Gau Mutra’ states referring to the BJP’s recent victories in Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, and Chhattisgarh. Tamil Nadu BJP chief K Annamalai condemned the “insensitive” remarks of the MP, saying the level of the party’s discourse is “sinking” like Chennai and the “arrogance” of DMK will be the prime reason for its downfall. “After calling our North Indian friends Pani Puri sellers, toilet constructors, etc., I.N.D.I. Alliance DMK MP, makes Gaumutra Jibes,” he said on X.
