The Karur rally stampede was not just an accident — it was a spectacle of political calculation. Within hours of the tragedy that claimed over 32 lives, including children and women, the DMK government announced a compensation of ₹10 lakh per family. Convenient? Absolutely.
Stalin is once again turning tragedy into optics, ensuring that every camera and headline points toward him. The orchestrated appearance of minister Senthil balaji at the site is not mere coincidence — it smacks of a carefully planned performance. Every step, every announcement, every rupee disbursed seems designed to keep the narrative tightly in the hands of the ruling party, while the victims’ voices are drowned out.
This is governance or theatre? The question hangs heavy over Karur. When deaths are weighed against political mileage, it’s clear where priorities lie. Compensation is announced before proper rescue, investigation, or accountability — and the nation watches as politics masquerades as empathy.
DMK’s Karur strategy is laid bare: tragedy is an opportunity, optics are everything, and lives are mere footnotes.
The Karur tragedy was never just a crowd accident — it smells of calculation. Within hours, stalin positioned himself at the epicenter of the tragedy, turning grief into a political stage. minister Senthil Balaji’s sudden appearance at the site? Not luck. Planned optics. Every rupee of the ₹10 lakh announced compensation? Carefully timed.
And now, even Udhayanidhi is rushing back from dubai — a move that screams coordination. The narrative is clear: every political actor in DMK is executing a choreographed response, as if lives lost were pieces on a board and the tragedy itself was a planned performance.
This isn’t governance; this is a show where human lives are the backdrop and political mileage is the prize. Karur is a warning: when DMK moves, tragedy can be turned into theater, and the dead are the props.
