Tamil Nadu's ruling party, Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK), through its IT wing, mocked AIADMK chief E Palaniswami and actor-politician Vijay, showing them smiling and carrying a palanquin on which PM Narendra Modi is seated. The post, captioned "IYKYK" (slang for "if you know, you know"), came after the Karur stampede that killed 41 people. TVK, however, called the claims “baseless".
