Tamil Nadu: After Thanjavur, a photoframe of PM Modi was removed from Vellalore Town Panchayat office by a ward member in the Coimbatore district, sparking protests by BJP members.

In the recent elections, Kanagaraj won the election contesting as an independent candidate, backed by the ruling Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK).

BJP members in the area have registered a complaint with the Pothanur police station against Kanagaraj and have demanded action for removing PM’s portrait.

Earlier in Indore, a man had complained that his landlords threatened to throw him out of the house if he did not remove the portrait of PM Modi. The incident came to the fore during a Jansunwai session at the Police Commissioner’s office in March.
