Chandrababu Naidu and M.K. Stalin to Resolve Dispute Over Gukesh’s Tamil or Telugu Identity with a Match of Chess

As Gukesh Dommaraju became the youngest world champion in the history of chess, the Chief Ministers of Tamil Nadu and Andhra Pradesh were quick to claim credit for his success. While Gukesh resides in Tamil Nadu, his parents are Telugu, prompting Chandrababu Naidu and M.K. Stalin to lock horns over his achievements. To resolve this dispute, they have decided to play a chess match to determine whether his Telugu genes contributed to his success or Tamil Nadu’s rich chess culture. The winner of this match will take full credit for Gukesh’s victory—without actually contributing anything directly to his journey. Meanwhile, as these two politicians focus on their match and credit-grabbing, the rest of India is busy celebrating the success of an Indian in the world of chess.
