A fresh political controversy has erupted in Tamil Nadu after a portrait of Thiruvalluvar depicted in saffron robes was displayed during a Vaikasi Anusham event at Raj Bhavan. The portrayal has triggered sharp reactions from the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam, TVK and other opposition parties, which argue that Thiruvalluvar transcends religion, caste and political identity. The BJP, however, maintains that saffron reflects the saint-poet’s spiritual roots #thiruvalluvar #tamilnadu #saffronrow #dmk #tvk #bjp #tamilpolitics #breakingnews #rajbhavan #timesnow
