The whereabouts of the photo were not provided in the Twitter post. There are chances for social media users to think of the sarcastic post as if it has been captured from Tamil Nadu.

Conclusion
The picture of a car in a pit stagnated with rainwater, claimed by BJP Narayanan as the DMK government’s new scheme is fake. The photo is an old one from 2017 and can be seen in the posts and articles from Mumbai.
