Amidst Rumours of Amit Shah’s Admonition, Tamilisai Clarifies “Discussion” About Controversial Post

##

Dr. Tamilisai Soundararajan, the Governor of Telangana and Lieutenant Governor of Puducherry, has issued a statement clarifying her recent meeting with Union Home Minister Amit Shah. This comes after rumours surfaced suggesting that Shah had admonished her for a controversial social media post.

The post in question, which sparked widespread criticism, saw Tamilisai praising a BJP leader’s “remarkable” performance in a public gathering.

In her statement, Tamilisai denies any “admonition” from Shah, emphasizing that the meeting was a “routine discussion” focused on various administrative matters. She clarifies that the discussion did touch upon her social media post, specifically focusing on the use of “certain keywords” in the post.

While Tamilisai maintains that the meeting was amicable and professional, her statement does not elaborate on the nature of the “keywords” or Shah’s specific concerns.

The incident has once again brought to the forefront the delicate balance between political expression and individual freedom within the political arena. The BJP, known for its strict control over social media messaging, has been vocal about the party’s expectations from its leaders.

Tamilisai’s statement, though brief, seeks to quell speculations and reaffirm her commitment to the party’s agenda. It remains to be seen whether this will be sufficient to quell the ongoing controversy and address the broader concerns about social media conduct within the party.
