Why is it trending?

Tamil Nadu CM M.K.Stalin tours Western belt which is locally known as the ‘Kongu Belt’ is an AIADMK stronghold and largely voted against the ruling DMK. Coimbatore, being the second-largest city and industrial hub of Tamil Nadu is situated in this region. There are allegations of Tamil Nadu’s western belt being ignored by the ruling DMK, hence, TamilNadu Chief Minister who is touring the region is facing the anger of angry netizens.

However, this region is allegedly allocated far fewer vaccines than Chennai. Coimbatore is also now the city with maximum COVID-19 cases in Tamil Nadu. Leaders of BJP and AIADMK, have been pointing out the huge spike in deaths and cases in Coimbatore.

In addition to this when asked about it by a BJP spokesperson, the DMK spokesperson replied by saying “if people of Coimbatore are struggling and crying in pain, then go and WhatsApp it to Modi”. this careless response added fuel to the wrath of the people.

BJP spokesperson C.T.R Nirmal Kumar said” even though CM says Govt. is not biased against Coimbatore people, but still, people of Kovai didn’t see a difference”
