Tamil Nadu BJP spokesperson A.N.S. Prasad has filed a petition in the Madras High Court to halt the Formula 4 car racing event set for August 31 and September 1 in Chennai, citing concerns over public inconvenience and safety. The petition claims that the event will block public roads, affecting daily commuters and patients needing access to local hospitals. Prasad argues that the race violates the Motor Vehicles Act as it involves racing cars on public roads, and he has requested an interim injunction against the event. In response, Tamil Nadu's Youth Welfare and Sports Development Minister Udhayanidhi Stalin assured that the race would not hinder traffic and that the government has invested approximately Rs 30 crore into the event. Opposition parties, including AIADMK, criticize the DMK government for prioritizing entertainment over pressing public issues. The court is scheduled to hear the case on August 28.
