On this Special Report, the focus is on the escalating political rhetoric in Tamil Nadu as the state approaches elections. Tamil Nadu Law Minister S. Regupathy has sparked a debate by framing the electoral battle as ‘Lord Ram versus Lord Murugan’. He stated that the ‘BJP has now realised that it is not the name of Lord Ram that will work in the elections but it is actually the name of Lord Murugan’. Regupathy further claimed that ‘Murugan’s vel is on DMK side’, suggesting the deity’s support lies with his party rather than the BJP. The programme examines how the DMK is countering the BJP’s Hindutva plank by invoking local Tamil devotion to Murugan. While the BJP has historically used the name of Ram to garner votes in Northern India, the DMK asserts this strategy will fail in the south. The discussion also touches upon the broader political landscape, including the influence of caste and the entry of actor Vijay into the electoral fray.
