Muthuramalingath Devar Gurupuja will be held at Pasumpon on October 30. On this day, a large number of people such as Chief Minister and Ministers, leaders of various political parties, community leaders and the general public gather to pay their respects at Pasumbon Devar memorial on behalf of the government. Accordingly, this year too, the Ramanathapuram district administration has started preparations for the Devar Jayanti to be held on October 30. Reports have surfaced that the Tamil Nadu BJP has invited Prime Minister Modi to participate in the Devar Guru Puja this year.
Based on this, Villupuram MP Ravikumar has alleged that “Prime Minister Modi is coming to Devar Guru Puja to divide the people on caste lines and for political gain.” After participating in the human chain rally held in Villupuram, MP Ravikumar said, “Did Modi understand that after 8 years of becoming the Prime Minister, he should come to Devar Guru Puja now?
Modi is going to take part in the Devar Guru Puja by saying that he will enact a law to delist the Devendra clan people and target the votes of the three clans without implementing it. “The people of South District will never support BJP,” he wrote.
“Prime Minister Modi’s visit to Pasumbon Muthuramalinga Devar Guru Puja is not yet confirmed,” says Tamil Nadu BJP State Vice President Karu Nagarajan. “Such a matter is first reported to the state leadership. Therefore, someone has taken this forward by planning and making this unconfirmed news a news story,” he said.
We posed the question to political commentator Ravindran Duraisamy that if Prime Minister Modi participates in the Muthuramalingath Devar Guru Puja, what will be the next plans of the Tamil Nadu BJP. “BJP’s success is due to caste systems in Tamilnadu which have different colors. They see that there is an opportunity for this in South Tamil Nadu. Those who started their migration as Kongu Velalar and Arundhathiyar in western Tamil Nadu started as Devendra Kula Velalar and Mukulathor in South Tamil Nadu. Like the Pasumbon Muthuramalinga Devar Memorial, there are chances of the Prime Minister visiting some other memorials in the near future.
In 1969, artist Karunanidhi inaugurated a large statue of Muthuramalinga Devar by VVGiri. Jayalalithaa gave a gold shield. They plan Tamilnadu politics in Tamilnadu style by keeping such precedents. Following this, there is a chance to honor Perumbidugu Mutharaiyar, Vaikunder, Emmanuel Sekaranaar too.
