Trichy: Manachanallur DMK MLA
Kathiravan lost cool during his campaign after a voter confronted him over unfulfilled promises. "Nothing will happen on the day of the marriage. You have to wait. I don't need your vote," he said. Video of the incident has gone viral.
Sources said the incident took place on Friday night when he was campaigning and a voter had asked him about bringing water to the Cholinganallur lake. Kathirvan initially tried to explain to him but lost his cool after the young voter was unconvinced.

Reacting to the incident, former BJP state president K Annamalai said on X, "The DMK MLA has spoken disparagingly during his election campaign to villagers who requested water. DMK members reveal their true colors only after the elections. However, this time, they have failed to show even basic respect to the public during the election campaigning itself."
