Huge hoardings proclaiming politicians’ names, achievements, marriage and solidarity is a common sight in south India, especially Tamil Nadu, where party workers do some shoddy Photoshop job.
Like this one:
The latest entry to it is a hoarding of Tamil Nadu CM J Jayalalithaa doing a Sivagami from the blockbuster Baahubali where she is seen holding a baby above rapids.
The poster says, “Amma single-handedly saved Chennai city and stranded people from the disaster” referring to the present Chennai floods. The billboard put up by S Muthukarappan, an MLA from Thirunelveli (far way from Chennai and not affected by the torrential rains), is now doing rounds on social media and is being strongly criticised.
The AIADMK’s official Twitter handle also put out some badly Photoshopped images of Jayalalithaa saying “Puratchi Thalaivi Amma Undertaking Aerial Survey of Rain Affected Chennai,Tiruvallur & Kancheepuram Districts.”
Do you think Jayalalithaa did all what she could to save the people of Chennai?
