Convocation ceremonies at ESI and Coimbatore Medical Colleges became a point of contention as film songs featuring actor Vijay and ruling TVK election campaign tunes blared. "Raavana Mavanda" and "Oru Pere Varalaru" from Vijay's upcoming film, alongside TVK campaign anthems, were played, drawing criticism for a perceived lack of discipline at government events.

Netizens expressed dismay, calling the administration a "joke."
