Locking horns with the Kollywood celebrities is not new for the Tamil Nadu wing of the Bharatiya Janata Party(BJP). In the recent past, the party had confronted a few celebrities on several instances.
The BJP has targeted Kollywood star Suriya over his stand on the NEET exams and the controversial Cinematography Amendment Bill 2021. In a recent meeting, BJP’s Tamil Nadu State Youth Working Committee took some resolutions that have to be implemented.
As part of the resolution, the Tamil Nadu wing of BJP has targeted Suriya in the NEET row and said that the actor is opposing the entrance exam for his personal gains and has been spreading false news about welfare schemes introduced by the Narendra Modi government for his benefits.
The youth wing also found fault with the actor for opposing the proposed Cinematography Amendment Bill 2021 and advised Suriya to focus on his films rather than passing comments on the schemes and NEET exams.
Suriya opposed the NEET selection process stating that the process will have a negative impact on the students from Tamil Nadu. He also condemned the Cinematography Amendment Bill proposed by the Narendra Modi government.
Earlier Thalapathy Vijay was also targeted by the Tamil Nadu wing of BJP for questioning the BJP government. In his movies, Vijay openly criticised the Goods and Services Tax system introduced by the Narendra Modi government.
