BJP Leader Kushbu Accuses DMK of Diverting Attention from Law and Order Failures

Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Kushbu has strongly criticized the ruling Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) party in Tamil Nadu, alleging a complete failure in maintaining law and order within the state. Speaking to the media in Madurai on April 16, 2026, Kushbu asserted that the DMK is attempting to divert public attention from pressing issues, particularly the rising crime rates against women and children. She linked reported attacks on women to drug abuse and alleged direct involvement of DMK affiliates. Specifically, she cited an incident where DMK men allegedly assaulted a woman who questioned them about not receiving a fake coupon worth ₹8,000. Kushbu argued that these incidents highlight the administration's inability to ensure public safety and hold accountable those responsible for such crimes. Her statements underscore the growing political tension between the opposition BJP and the ruling DMK regarding governance and social security in the region.
