The word “Vidiyal” (dawn) wasn’t just symbolic; it was a brand, tied to the DMK’s 2021 election campaign. Now, without announcement, it’s gone. Commuters noticed. Photos went viral. DMK called it politically motivated; an attempt to erase legacy, not improve service. What’s at stake isn’t the ride for women, but who gets credit for giving it. Sometimes, naming isn’t cosmetic. It’s political warfare.
