Udhayanidhi Stalin Denies Double-meaning Remarks Against Trisha
Tamil Nadu Leader of the Opposition Udhayanidhi Stalin on Tuesday denied allegations that he made "double-meaning" remarks against actor Trisha Krishnan during a rally in Thanjavur, saying his speech was only about the release of Cauvery water for the state's farmers.
He accused the ruling Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) government of twisting his words. "I did not speak with any wrongful or malicious intent. I was arrested simply for speaking in support of farmers, Udhayanidhi said.
He also dismissed allegations that he had insulted women, saying, "I have a wife, a sister and a daughter. I have not said anything against women. On the "double meaning" allegation, he said his words had "only one meaning" — a demand for Cauvery water release.
The controversy began during a DMK protest in Thanjavur over the Cauvery water dispute and Karnataka's proposed Mekedatu project. During his speech, some in the crowd chanted Trisha's name, and Udhayanidhi made a remark in Tamil that some interpreted as vulgar double entendre. The DMK leader alleged the government circulated an edited version of his speech to divert attention from the Cauvery issue ahead of the Assembly session.
