CM Vijay has no locus standi to speak about obscenity against women, says Udhayanidhi
Opposition leader Udhayanidhi Stalin has criticized Tamil Nadu Chief Minister C. Joseph Vijay for his comments on obscenity, labeling him a 'dummy' leader. The dispute escalated after a walkout from the Assembly, with both sides trading allegations of corruption and political cowardice.
Why it matters
This highlights significant political instability and intense partisan friction within the Tamil Nadu state government.
Leader of the Opposition Udhayanidhi Stalin on Monday (September 7, 2026) said Tamil Nadu Chief Minister C. Joseph Vijay had no locus standi to advise others to refrain from making “double and triple meaning comments” against women, as the quality of the films he had acted in, the scenes in them and the songs were at odds with what he was preaching.
“If we talk about them, he will not be able to bear it. What is the position of his friends Vishnu Reddy, Sujai Reddy and Anil Reddy? Why have you handed over the mines and responsibilities to them? We will release the documents,” he told reporters after staging a walkout from the Assembly to protest the Speaker’s denial of an opportunity to respond in the House.
