TL;DR:TN CM MK Stalin has called out the BJP‑AIADMK combo, accusing them of using fake religious drama to divide people. He emphasised that religion is not under threat, but the alliance itself is. Stalin highlighted DMK govt’s record of consecrating 3,000 temples and spending ₹84 cr on churches and mosques, and he warned the people won’t be fooled by so‑called devotion. He also flagged how Centre’s calibration of Sanskrit funding over South‑Indian languages adds to regional concerns. 💥
🎯 What’s the Buzz?
Stalin launched his attack during a public event in Thirupathur, reacting to the Lord Murugan devotees’ conference in Madurai on June 22 by Hindu Munnani, backed by the BJP. He called it a "political drama" trying to polarise Tamil society along religious lines—even dragging AIADMK in with silence on controversial speeches.
He asserted clearly: “Religion is not under threat … only the BJP alliance is” and labelled their attempts at religious politics as fake bhakti that won’t cut ice here.
Highlighting DMK’s secular credentials, Stalin said they’ve consecrated 3,000 temples and spent ₹84 crore on church and mosque restoration—showing genuine religious inclusion.
📊 Centre vs South?
Stalin didn’t stop there—he flagged how the Centre has allocated ₹2,532.6 cr to Sanskrit over the past decade, while Tamil and other South languages got just ₹147.6 cr—pointing to cultural marginalisation.
🤔 Why This Matters:
The BJP-AIADMK tie-up was struck in April 2025 for the 2026 assembly polls. Now, with tensions over religious rhetoric and cultural funding, the alliance seems shaky as Dravidian politics push back.
Importance? Tamil Nadu has long resisted communal politics and remains a stronghold of Dravidian rationalist traditions (Periyar, Anna, Kalaignar). Stalin’s remarks galvanise that tradition.
🧠 MediaFx Take (People’s Perspective)
From the perspective of ordinary folks—teachers, bus drivers, farmhands—religion isn't a weapon; it’s a part of life. Politics should serve people, not hijack temples and language budgets. Stalin is speaking up for inclusive, honest governance. The DMK’s secular record isn’t lip service—it’s temple lighting and mosque fixing. This stance resonated with working-class hearts and could strengthen resistance to divisive politics. 🌾✊
🗣️ What’s Next?
Will AIADMK leaders challenge BJP’s religious outreach or drift further?
Can DMK’s social harmony narrative sway rural youth before the 2026 polls?
