During a Cauvery water protest in Thanjavur, DMK leader Udhayanidhi Stalin sparked controversy by making a double-meaning remark about actress Trisha amid chants from the crowd. 

He criticized Tamil Nadu Chief Minister C Joseph Vijay for ignoring water scarcity and instead focusing on filing cases against the DMK. 

The protest highlighted Tamil Nadu's accusation against Karnataka for not releasing the state's rightful Cauvery water share, leading to a Supreme Court petition to enforce water release orders.
