Pawan Kalyan, the prominent leader of the Jana Sena Party, has recently initiated a campaign focused on protecting Sanatana Dharma. This campaign gained significant attention when he sharply criticized Uday Nidhi Stalin, the Deputy Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu. Stalin had infamously compared Sanatana Dharma to a virus that should be eradicated, akin to Dengue or Malaria. Kalyan’s remarks in response to Stalin’s inflammatory comments resonated deeply with his supporters and ignited a fierce online debate.
Pro DMK Handles Attack on Pawan:
In the aftermath of Kalyan’s comments, several pro-DMK social media handles launched a targeted campaign against Pawan kalyan, filled with malicious posts aimed at undermining his credibility. Historically, the DMK has been recognized for its formidable IT cell and extensive social media presence in Tamil Nadu. Many of these handles, often identified as “Dravidian” groups, have garnered substantial followings, making them powerful players in the social media campaigns in Tamil Nadu. The DMK’s digital dominance has long been a cause of concern for rival parties in Tamil Nadu.
Pawan Fans’ matured counter-attack shocks DMK handles:
However, Pawan Kalyan’s supporters have demonstrated remarkable resilience and strategic counteraction. They have actively engaged with pro-DMK narratives, countering each argument without resorting to abusive language or tactics. This approach has not only showcased the dedication of Kalyan’s fan base but has also underscored their commitment to respectful dialogue. One of the most effective tactics employed by Kalyan’s supporters has been the resurfacing of old videos that expose the double standards of DMK leaders. They also highlighted footage of actor Prakash Raj conspiring with a DMK leader, who was instructing him to publicly praise the CM of Tamil Nadu during an event.
Anti-DMK fans Appreciate PK fans effort and compare it as “Belt Treatment” to DMK handles:
The robust counter-campaign led by Pawan Kalyan’s fans has yielded unexpected results. Some of the once-influential Dravidian social media handles have started deleting their accounts in the face of relentless scrutiny and pushback from Kalyan’s supporters. This development marks a significant shift in the digital political landscape of Tamil Nadu, indicating that online engagement is becoming an increasingly vital battleground for political influence. The social media influencers and handles that were earlier cornered by pro-DMK are elated with this unexpected development, and comparing this ongoing counter-attack from Pawan fans as “Belt treatment” to the pro-DMK social media handles.
We need to wait and see what will be the next step of DMK leaders on Pawan Kalyan
