DMK Leader Rejects ‘Special Intensive Revision’ in Tamil Nadu

Senior DMK leader and State Minister Durai Murugan sparked debate on Thursday by rejecting the idea of implementing ‘Special Intensive Revision’ (SIR) in Tamil Nadu. He emphasized that the state’s political landscape differs significantly from Bihar’s, citing a higher level of political awareness among Tamil Nadu residents.

Durai Murugan Highlights Tamil Nadu’s Political Maturity

Murugan expressed confidence in the political maturity of the people of Tamil Nadu, asserting that they are less susceptible to misinformation and manipulation. He implied that measures like SIR, potentially necessary in other states, weren’t required in Tamil Nadu due to the existing level of political engagement and understanding.

Comparison with Bihar Draws Controversy

The comparison with Bihar has drawn criticism from some quarters, with accusations of condescension towards Bihar’s political landscape. However, Murugan’s comments reflect the DMK’s stance on the issue and underscore the party’s belief in the discerning nature of Tamil Nadu voters.
