Posters welcoming Union Home Minister Amit Shah in Ranipet and Arakkonam inadvertently featured actor-director Santhana Bharathi, sparking amusement on social media. The BJP quickly disassociated itself from the blunder, while A. Arulmozhi, a member of the state executive committee, alleged that it was a deliberate attempt to shame her and the party. Following the incident, she lodged a police complaint. The mix-up garnered attention nationwide, with netizens sharing their amusement at the unexpected juxtaposition of a political figure with a well-known entertainment personality. The incident serves as a reminder of the importance of attention to detail in political campaigns, particularly in the age of social media where mistakes can quickly go viral. While the BJP has distanced itself from the gaffe, it remains to be seen how the party will address the situation moving forward.
