Tamil Nadu BJP Uses Srinidhi Chidambaram’s Dance Clip In A Botched Attempt To Promote The Party’s Symbol

<p><strong>Chennai: </strong>Ahead of the Tamil Nadu assembly elections, the state-level committee of the Bharatiya Janata Party was tremendously trolled for using dancing clips of political enthusiast and professional Bharatanatyam dancer Srinidhi Chidambaram to promote the party&rsquo;s symbol. Unfortunately for BJP, Srinidhi Chidambaram is none other than the wife of Congress leader and Lok Sabha MP of Sivaganga constituency, Karti Chidambaram. &nbsp;</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">The clip was taken without her permission. It was from Tamil musical &lsquo;Semmozhiyana Thamizh Mozhiyam', lyrics of which was written by M.Karunanidhi and it was composed by A.R.Rahman.</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;"><strong>ALSO READ: <span style="color: #f80707;"><a style="color: #f80707;" href="https://ift.tt/2O7ho98 Cricketer &amp; BJP Candidate Gets Y+ Category Security With 20 CRPF Jawans</a></span></strong></p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">The Twitter page @BJP4Tamilnadu immediately removed the tweet after a strong criticism from Twitteratis. Srinidhi Chidambaram too responded to this faux pas by tweeting, &ldquo;It is ridiculous that BJP has used my image for their propaganda. Lotus can never bloom in Tamilnadu&rdquo; saying BJP has no chance of winning in the upcoming election.</p> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-conversation="none"> <p dir="ltr" lang="en">Ridiculous that the <a href="https://twitter.com/BJP4India?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@bjp4india</a> has used my image for their propaganda. தமிழகத்தில் தாமரை என்றும் மலராது. <a href="https://twitter.com/BJP4India?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@BJP4India</a></p> &mdash; srinidhi chidambaram (@srinidhichid) <a href="https://twitter.com/srinidhichid/status/1376888400444157952?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">March 30, 2021</a></blockquote> <p> <script src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" async="" charset="utf-8"></script> </p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">The Tamil Nadu Congress committee too tweeted and said that the BJPs campaign is full of lies and propaganda.&nbsp;</p> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"> <p dir="ltr" lang="en">Dear <a href="https://twitter.com/BJP4TamilNadu?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@BJP4TamilNadu</a>, we understand 'consent' is a difficult concept for you to understand, but you cannot use Mrs Srinidhi Karti Chidambaram's image without her permission.
