On 4 January, Governor RN Ravi courted a controversy when he remarked that "Tamizhgam would be more appropriate than Tamil Nadu" for the name of the state.
Speaking at a function held at the Raj Bhavan to honor the organizers and volunteers of the Kasi-Tamil Sangamam, he said, "Unfortunately there has been regressive politics in Tamil Nadu that we are Dravidians, and on the basis of the Constitution, we have been brought With. In half a century, every effort has been made to reinforce this narrative that we are not part of the nation, we are an integral part of the nation. And even a different kind of narrative has been created. Everything for the whole country Applies. The country, Tamil Nadu will say no."
At the event, he had said that there has been regressive politics with a 'bad habit' of rejecting everything that benefits all sections of people, including academics, claiming that the state is not an integral part of India.
