TL;DR:TN CM MK Stalin has called out the BJPāAIADMK combo, accusing them of using fake religious dramaĀ to divide people. He emphasised that religion is not under threat, but the alliance itself is. Stalin highlighted DMK govtās record of consecrating 3,000 temples and spending ā¹84āÆcr on churches and mosques, and he warned the people wonāt be fooled by soācalled devotion. He also flagged how Centreās calibration of Sanskrit funding over SouthāIndian languages adds to regional concerns. š„

šÆ Whatās the Buzz?
Stalin launched his attack during a public event in Thirupathur, reacting to the Lord Murugan devoteesā conferenceĀ in Madurai on June 22Ā by Hindu Munnani, backed by the BJP. He called it a "political drama"Ā trying to polarise Tamil society along religious linesāeven dragging AIADMK in with silence on controversial speeches.
He asserted clearly: āReligion is not under threat ⦠only the BJP alliance isāĀ and labelled their attempts at religious politics as fake bhakti that wonāt cut iceĀ here.
Highlighting DMKās secular credentials, Stalin said theyāve consecrated 3,000 templesĀ and spent ā¹84āÆcroreĀ on church and mosque restorationāshowing genuine religious inclusion.
š Centre vs South?
Stalin didnāt stop thereāhe flagged how the Centre has allocated ā¹2,532.6āÆcr to SanskritĀ over the past decade, while Tamil and other South languages got just ā¹147.6āÆcrāpointing to cultural marginalisation.
š¤ Why This Matters:
The BJP-AIADMK tie-up was struck in April 2025Ā 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 traditionsĀ (Periyar, Anna, Kalaignar). Stalinās remarks galvanise that tradition.
š§ MediaFx Take (Peopleās Perspective)
From the perspective of ordinary folksāteachers, bus drivers, farmhandsāreligion isn't a weapon; itās a part of life. Politics should serve people, not hijack temples and language budgets. Stalin is speaking up for inclusive, honest governance. The DMKās secular record isnāt lip serviceāitās temple lighting and mosque fixing. This stance resonated with working-class hearts and could strengthen resistance to divisive politics. š¾ā
š£ļø Whatās Next?
Will AIADMK leaders challenge BJPās religious outreach or drift further?
Can DMKās social harmony narrative sway rural youth before the 2026 polls?
