Chennai: The BJP's Tamil Nadu unit kicked up a row on Tuesday with a controversial tweet against social reformer, the late E V R Periyar on his 47th death anniversary, sparking outrage from political parties, including its allies AIADMK and PMK.

DMK President M K Stalin and MDMK founder Vaiko lashed out at the saffron party for the seemingly offensive tweet, which was later pulled down from the state BJP's official Twitter handle.

Tamil Nadu Cooperation Minister Sellur K Raju said "it is condemnable whoever spoke ill about" leaders like Periyar. Stalin, Leader of the Opposition in the assembly in Tamil Nadu said BJP must have pondered over whether to put out such a tweet, only to remove it later.

  • #Periyar ஐ இழிவுபடுத்தும் கருத்தைப் பதிவு செய்து, எதிர்ப்பு வந்ததும் நீக்கியுள்ளது @BJP4TamilNadu அப்பதிவை போடுவதற்கு முன் யோசித்திருக்கலாமே?

    அந்த பயம் இருக்கட்டும்! மரணித்த பிறகும் மருள வைத்துள்ளார் பெரியார்!

    அதிமுக, இதற்காவது புலியாகப் பாயுமா? இல்லை மண்புழுவாய் பதுங்குமா?

"Let that fear be there. Periyar is giving jitters even after his death," he said in a tweet.

NDA constituent PMK also lashed out at ally BJP, saying the tweet put out by the saffron party's state unit on the Dravidian stalwart's death anniversary was "abhorrent". "This shows their deceased vision. This is strongly condemnable," PMK founder Dr S Ramadoss said on Twitter.

MDMK founder Vaiko also criticised the BJP even as scores of netizens took to social media to express their voice against the saffron party on the matter.
