@Ahmedshabbir20 Congress asked votes as part of the DMK alliance against TVK. So those voters clearly didn’t vote for a TVK government. DMK may deserve criticism, no doubt. But using that anger to back TVK now is not “protecting mandate” it is political revenge dressed up as principle.

Today is my day to pick up good karma credits. I am the publisher for this book, so buy in large numbers and learn about not only Rajaraja, but all the other Cholas - from the Sangam Cholas, Early Cholas starting from Vijayalaya, Imperial Cholas Rajaraja and Rajendra and then the lineage from Kulotunga till the end of Chola kingdom. Armed with this information visit the following key temples: (a) Nagesvaran Koil in Kumbakonam, Pullamangai near Pasupathi Koil, Punjai near Pumpuhar, Srinivasa Nallur near Trichy in the Trichy-Musiri Road, and the famous Thiruchendurai Temple made infamous by the Waqf Board. (b) Moovar Kovil in Kodumbalur - Trichy-Pudukkottai Road, Ariyalur (c) A small selection of Chola Temples in Chennai from Denupurisvarar (Madambakkam), Trisulam, Velachery and Thiruvotriyur. (d) A selection of temples built by Chembianmadevi, most notably the one at Konerirajapuram. (e) The big-four: Thanjai Peruvudaiyar, Gangaikonda Cholapuram, Tharasuram, Tribhuvanam. The first three form part of the UNESCO world heritage monumnets, the last one should have been part of the same too, if not for some shenanigans... (f) Crazy and mind-blowing one: Melakkadambur (g) Dilapidated and decently renovated: Thukkachi

One month ago, TVK was “RSS’s child.” Today, supporting the same TVK is apparently a strategy to stop BJP. His own MP seat and party MLA seat came through DMK backing. Now suddenly every word from him should be treated as political truth? This doesn’t look like ideology. It looks like a man placing bets wherever relevance is available.

@YaaruDaHindu His words are becoming harder to take seriously. One month back, TVK was “RSS’s child entering Tamil Nadu.” Today, supporting the same TVK is being sold as a masterstroke to stop BJP. At this speed, tomorrow even contradiction will be marketed as political strategy.

Biggest expose in TN political history is here! 🤯🤯🤯 Dr.Thiruma says, DMK-NDA pushed him to be the CM and almost went about to declare it, even after #VCK provided support for #TVK. Desperate DMK-NDA alliance wanted to kill people's mandate. #MustWatch youtube.com/live/Fd9XpNnGx…

தேர்தலுக்கு முன்பு “TVK என்பது RSS பெற்றெடுத்த குழந்தை” என்று சொல்லி வாக்கு கேட்க வேண்டும்… தேர்தல் முடிந்து TVK வென்றதும் “நான் ஆதரவு கொடுத்து BJP தமிழ்நாட்டுக்குள் வருவதை தடுத்துவிட்டேன்” என்று சொல்ல வேண்டும் சூழ்நிலைக்கேற்ப நிலைப்பாடு மாறலாம்… ஆனால் சூழ்நிலைக்கேற்ப கதையே மாற்றிக்கொள்வது அரசியல் தெளிவு இல்லை. அவ்வளவு யோசித்தவர் MP தேர்தலிலேயே DMK-வை விட்டு வெளியேறி TVK உடன் கூட்டணி வைத்து சந்தித்திருக்கலாமே?

One week into TVK rule, the biggest question is still simple: Where is the “alternate politics”? Leader worship? Same. Wall posters and punch-dialogue politics? Same. Criticism answered with “they also did it”? Same. For years, TVK attacked Dravidian parties for political culture, personality worship and candidate quality. But in just two years, the party seems to have imported many of the same habits — only with better edits, louder fan energy and faster hashtags. Change is not just winning power. Change is behaving differently after winning it. Right now, TVK does not look like a political alternative to the old system. It looks like the same system running on cinema fan culture.

you seriously need some basic understanding of economics and governance. A hero becoming rich through salary negotiations, endorsements and investments is completely different from managing Tamil Nadu’s finances. By that logic, every rich businessman should automatically become RBI Governor. Running a state economy is not the same as running a personal bank account. @itisprashanth

The greatest comedy DMK is pulling is that they think @TVKVijayHQ doesn’t understand fund flow or finance . Dude ! Here is a person who rose from few lakh rupees as salaries to few hundred crores in a short span of 3 decades just by calculated financial moves ! He knows a lot more than fund flow ! Tamilnadu will witness it in the coming months !

@polimernews What an absurd headline. An MLA doesn’t have the power to suspend government hospital staff. That is done by the department/competent authority. Giving MLA hero-credit for administrative action is exactly how people are misled into hero worship.

The Industries portfolio is one of the most serious responsibilities in a state like Tamil Nadu. So far, the media interactions feel more curiosity-driven than data-driven. Instead of half-baked PR moments, the focus should now shift towards investment, execution and measurable industrial outcomes. If she is truly capable, let the work eventually silence the criticism.

Funny how “experience doesn’t matter” suddenly became “experience is everything.” When the whole state questioned whether this team had the experience to run a government, the reply was: “This is democracy, anyone can learn over time.” But now, the moment cinema gets affected, Vishal suddenly remembers the importance of experience. Education portfolio without experience was acceptable — but film industry without experience is dangerous? Looks like the fire finally reached their own house. Taste of their own medicine. @VishalKOfficial

All it took was 380+ videos from Dec 29, 2025 to become an MLA and now a Minister. This could be anyone. It doesn't matter, bcz people voted for the face value of Vijay. But just look at the campaign.. posting 3 videos a day as an independent candidate.. slowly appearing on Janam TV, then debates, public events, local Insta page promotions, wall poster campaigns and finally being announced as a TVK candidate. Typical political campaign. Few dramas, thats it. 399k followers on Insta now and she is the Industries Minister. She might have been chosen as the TVK candidate even before the announcement. Looks very well planned. Someone could run a case study on how local Insta pages collaborated with the candidate. You will find some surprising patterns.

@DixadinaDMK Amazing change in just one week 👏 Roads, buildings, development — okay. But changing even Tamil people in the background into Chinese and Western faces? That’s next-level governance. Hats off to CM.

This is the contradiction, Kamal sir. You speak about libraries, critical thinking and creating an educated society — but at the same time ask for more shows, more screen time and deeper cinema penetration in a state where cinema already dominates public thinking and politics. If out of 100 people, 90 are constantly pushed toward cinema culture while only 10 are pushed toward books and intellectual growth, then on election day those 90 will naturally vote based on celebrity emotion and image. The 10 who value policy, governance and critical thinking will simply be outnumbered. Then how will Tamil Nadu ever break free from star worship politics?

மாண்புமிகு தமிழ்நாடு முதலமைச்சர், தம்பி விஜய் @TVKVijayHQ அவர்களை இன்று நேரில் சந்தித்து வாழ்த்துகளைத் தெரிவித்தேன். தமிழ்நாட்டை மேம்படுத்தும் பல கனவுகளை உற்சாகத்துடன் பகிர்ந்துகொண்டார். சந்திப்பின்போது அவர் காட்டிய பண்பும் அன்பும் நெகிழ்ச்சியளித்தது. பல்வேறு இடையூறுகளைச் சந்தித்து வரும் தமிழ்த் திரைப்படத் துறைக்கு தமிழ்நாடு அரசின் ஆதரவும் அரவணைப்பும் வேண்டும் என்பதை வலியுறுத்தி 6 முக்கியமான கோரிக்கைகளை அவரிடம் கொடுத்திருக்கிறேன். நன்மை மலரட்டும். @CMOTamilnadu

I genuinely respect you as a journalist, which is why this feels disappointing. Don’t you think your pro-Vijay stance has gone a little too far? At times, it feels like the line between journalism and fandom is getting blurred. Maybe it’s time for some honest self-evaluation. @Ahmedshabbir20

@ThanthiTV Conduct department-wise review meetings immediately is standard governance procedure followed by virtually every new government after assuming office. Calling this an “athiradi move” only shows how low the bar for political hype has become.

@WeDravidians @Tr_Gayathri @ambedkariteIND Irrespective of how much legitimate data and historical facts you show them, they’ll still return to square one and claim Vijay invented social justice. When worship replaces awareness, even history becomes a fan club poster.
