Tensions grow in the Thoothukudi district of Tamil Nadu after the house of senior Tamil Nadu BJP leader Sasikala Pushpa was vandalized by unidentified people. The miscreants have attacked the house, damaged the windows and furnitures. Following the attack, several police personnel were stationed at the spot and the police department has been in the process of acquiring the evidence through CCTV footage.

Sasikala Pushpa is the vice-president of Tamil Nadu BJP and she was former MP. She was with ADMK before and switched side in February 2020. She served as an MP from 2014 to 2020 and while she was elected to the Rajya Sabha in ADMK's ticket, she quit ADMK in 2016 after which she served as an Independent in the Parliament. Months ahead of the end of MP term, she joined BJP and was appointed as the vice-president of the party's state unit. 

She also served as the Mayor of Thoothukudi from 2011 to 2014. She turned to be staunch critic of DMK and her house in Thoothukudi was attacked by the miscreants a day after she slammed and threatened DMK Minister Geetha Jeevan. In recent times, Tamil Nadu has been witnessing a fierce war of words between the DMK and BJP leaders including BJP state president Annamalai. 

Annamalai's luxurious watch was the centre of the war and several DMK leaders and ministers including Senthi Balaji had attacked Annamalai. Jumping on the line of the party, several DMK cadres have been flaying Annamalai and BJP on social media. Recently, Geetha Jeevan, who is the Minister of Social Welfare and a native of Thoothukudi, came down hard on Annamalai and demanded the BJP leader to stop speaking lies about the ministers.

Geetha Jeevan was speaking at a party's event in Kovilpatti and she further said that if Annamalai refuses to stop attacking the ministers, the DMK leaders will take the stage and hit back. Responding to Geetha Jeevan's speech, BJP leader Sasikala Pushpa voiced against the former in a BJP's event that held on Wednesday in Thoothukudi. Sasikala Pushpa threatened Geetha Jeevan that the DMK minister would lose her legs when she steps out of her house. 

Sasikala Pushpa went on to say that DMK leaders won't have tongue to speak against Annamalai. She further said that Annamalai is working for 24 hours and the DMK cadres won't have any competence to speak about Annamalai. A day after her speech that went viral, Sasikala Pushpa's house was brutally attacked by unidentified people. 

According to reports, Sasikala Pushpa went to Nagercoil on Thursday to attend the party's meeting and when she was not in her house in Thoothukudi, a group of people vandalized her house. They damaged her car, windows and furnitures of her house and fled the spot. After learning about the attack, several BJP cadres have gathered before her residence and Thoothukudi SIPCOT police arrived at the spot and launched a probe into the attack. As tensions grow in the area, a team of police officers are stationed at the spot and the officials are reviewing the CCTV footage to locate and nab the miscreants.
