DMK MP DNV Senthilkumar's derogatory remark on heartland states sparks row
In the wake of Congress's defeat in three state polls, DMK's MP DNV Senthilkumar made a disparaging reference to north India during a debate in Lok Sabha on a bill related to J&K. BJP leaders responded aggressively and questioned Congress leader Rahul Gandhi's stance on the remarks. Tamil Nadu BJP chief condemned the remarks and criticized DMK's arrogance. Senthilkumar later withdrew his statement but justified his choice of words. Congress leader in Lok Sabha distanced the party from Senthilkumar's remarks.
