There's a saying, 'Might makes right.' The character of power remains unchanged regardless of the state, ruling party, or the leader's faith or caste. The political nature of those in power remains similar, whether it's questioning, raising issues, protesting, or stifling voices. Bulldozers and hammers become their tools.
Originally opposed in Uttar Pradesh, bulldozers became enforcers of justice in Punjab. By the time they modeled justice in Maharashtra, the courts started questioning, and this pattern forms a new model of governance in Maharashtra and Tamil Nadu. Whether through satire in comedy or questions of corruption, politics looks stained and murky.

For instance, attempts are made to break into homes and assault their occupants. Even senior citizens inside face verbal assaults, yet under whose instruction? Is it the ruling powers? The truth of politics is that those in power dislike raised voices, and so attacks happen. Vandalism over a satirical comedy or hammer-wielding destruction begs the question of favoritism towards corruption-accusing reports.
Sewage was scattered in the YouTuber's home
Video footage from inside the YouTuber's home showcased a scene of blackened waste strewn everywhere. It's an evident example of intolerance by power, where an attack transcends into rooms with sewage.

Recently, Shankar made a major revelation about corruption in the procurement of sewer trucks, which led to an attack by more than 20 individuals disguised as sanitation workers in the DMK-Congress ruled government. Shankar alleges that the Tamil Nadu Congress Committee president orchestrated this attack.
