A video of Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MLA V. Muraleedharan sprinkling toffees on students' desks at a school event in Kerala has gone viral, sparking widespread criticism and outrage. The incident occurred at Dr. Ambedkar Memorial Model Residential Higher Secondary School, Kattela, during a Pravesanotsavam (school reopening) function. In the video, Muraleedharan can be seen dropping toffees from a cover onto the desks instead of handing them over to the students. This gesture has been termed "discriminatory and shameful" by former State Minister for General Education V. Sivankutty, who has demanded an apology from the MLA. Sivankutty questioned how Muraleedharan could behave in such a manner with students in an institution where children from the Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes, and Other Backward Communities studied. He expressed concern that the incident would leave a lasting impact on the students' psyche and was an affront to their dignity.
