Dear Keerthana garu, appreciate your proactive outreach to investors. Every Industries Minister today has to actively market their state, engage with investors, and build confidence among job creators. Hon’ble PM Shri @narendramodi ji himself has repeatedly encouraged states to become proactive and accelerate India’s growth cycle. #AndhraPradesh will, of course, offer Tamil Nadu healthy competition! 😄 And ignore the noise - Trolls don’t create jobs. Investments do! 🙂












தமிழ்நாட்டில் கடந்த 15 நாட்களில் 25 கொலைகள், 4 இரட்டைக் கொலைகள், 19 பாலியல் குற்றங்கள் என செய்திகளில் வந்த சம்பவங்கள் மட்டுமே இவை. மாற்றம், மாற்றம் என்று சொன்னவர்களின் ஆட்சியில், தமிழ்நாட்டின் சட்டம் ஒழுங்கு மாறி இருப்பதற்கு இந்த சம்பவங்களே சாட்சி. கோவை சூலூர் சிறுமிக்கு நடந்த கொடுமையின் அதிர்ச்சியில் இருந்து மீள்வதற்குள் விழுப்புரம் மாவட்டத்தில் மற்றொரு சிறுமிக்கு பாலியல் வன்கொடுமை நடந்திருக்கிறது. சூலூர் சிறுமியின் தாய்க்குச் சொல்லாமல் அவசரகதியில் உடல் எரிக்கப்பட்டிருக்கிறது. மதுரை மீனாட்சி அம்மன் கோயில் அருகே சிறுவன் படுகொலை செய்யப்பட்டிருக்கிறான். மேலும், கோவையில் ஒரு இளம்பெண்ணின் வீட்டின் மீது பெட்ரோல் குண்டு வீசப்பட்டு இருக்கிறது. முதலமைச்சரின் சொந்த தொகுதியான பெரம்பூரில் போதைக் கும்பல் ஒன்று 13 வாகனங்களின் கண்ணாடிகளை உடைத்து அட்டூழியம் செய்துள்ளது. மாண்புமிகு முதல்வர் அவர்களே, இது தமிழ்நாடா, உத்தரபிரதேசமா? எங்கே போனது உங்க சிங்கப்பெண் அதிரடிப் படை? தேர்தலுக்கு முன்பு வீர வசனங்களை பேசிய முதலமைச்சர் இப்போது ஏன் வாய் திறக்க மறுக்கிறார்? அதிகரிக்கும் குற்றச் சம்பவங்களால் பொதுமக்கள் அச்சத்தில் தவிக்கும் போது, இன்று காலை கண்துடைப்புக்காக காவல்துறை அதிகாரிகள் கூட்டத்தை நடத்தி பொத்தாம் பொதுவாக அறிக்கை விடுவதை ஏற்க முடியாது. நிலைமையின் தீவிரத்தை முதலில் அரசு உணர வேண்டும். பெண்கள், குழந்தைகளுக்கு எதிரான குற்றச்செயல்களை தடுக்க, முதலமைச்சர் ஆக்கப்பூர்வமாக என்ன செய்யப் போகிறார் என்ற தமிழ்நாட்டின் கேள்விக்கு அவர் நேரடியாக பதில் சொல்லி ஆக வேண்டும்.


I hear a lot of people saying Vijay is a new CM and he needs time to understand and learn. When Annadurai took oath in 1967, he was a brand new CM too. So were Karunanidhi, MGR and Jayalalithaa. Did anyone give them 6 months to learn? They hit the ground running. Because they had good advisors who understood governance. The current CM's advisors know zilch about politics, let alone about governance. I'm really worried for my state.

Vijay vs Udhay will define the next decade of Tamil Nadu politics. GAME ON! Unless he makes some terrible mistakes, I have a feeling @TVKVijayHQ could rule for another two terms. @arivalayam under Udhay will function as a ruthless and aggressive opposition while steadily consolidating Udhay politically. In many ways, Tamil Nadu may once again witness a 1970s–80s style political battle reminiscent of MGR vs Karunanidhi. MGR was a charismatic mass leader whom Karunanidhi could never defeat electorally, yet Karunanidhi still remained an extraordinarily formidable opposition leader with unmatched political machinery and organizational strength. History may now repeat itself in a different form. It could once again become a battle of “Thooya Shakthi” vs “Theeya Shakthi.” CM Vijay has charisma, mass appeal, and a massive people’s mandate. Udhay, on the other hand, has the DMK’s party infrastructure, political machinery, money power, and media ecosystem behind him. It is going to be a fascinating duel. Who ultimately wins may depend entirely on who commits more political mistakes. But instinctively, I still feel Udhay may fall short every time, just like his legendary grandfather did against the charismatic MGR. Now, what happens to the other political parties? ADMK! @ADMKofficial ADMK is already politically demolished, thanks largely to EPS. The party will likely continue disintegrating because it has lost its core political relevance in Tamil Nadu. The anti-DMK plank, which once belonged to ADMK, has now effectively been occupied by CM Vijay. People who oppose the DMK no longer see ADMK as a viable alternative. NTK! @Seeman4TN Seeman’s NTK is now a political joke. His biggest strength was his slow but steady growth in vote share: 1.6% in 2016 → 3.7% in 2019 → 6.8% in 2021 → 8.2% in 2024. But now his vote share has plummeted to around 4%. A major chunk of his support came from sections of the Tamil diaspora, and he may no longer appeal to them. End of the road! TN BJP! @BJP4TamilNadu As for the TN BJP, it is almost politically dead today. What exactly has this unit achieved ideologically or electorally in the last two years? No politically aware Hindu voter will seriously back this unit anymore unless there is a complete overhaul with leadership that possesses clarity, substance, and purpose. Which ultimately leaves the central contest between Vijay and Udhay. The great Cho once famously said: “Anyone who opposes DMK will grow.” MGR grew. Jayalalithaa grew. Even @annamalai_k managed to gain traction to an extent. @EPSTamilNadu failed miserably. @actorvijay will grow. As @CMOTamilnadu once kept saying repeatedly: “Rende rendu perukku thaan pottiye - onnu TVK, innonnu DMK.” This line perhaps sums up the next decade of Tamil Nadu politics perfectly. GAME ON!

The Sanatana controversy from Udhayanidhi Stalin is a brilliant political ploy! As much as I oppose his views from an ideological standpoint (my quoted post), I must admit that this has been a politically brilliant move from Udhay. Udhay has achieved two things here: 1. He made national headlines and pushed CM Vijay out of the spotlight. In politics, media attention is everything, and Udhay seized it with absolute aplomb. 2. He forced CM Vijay to react to a highly sensitive and emotionally charged issue. If CM Vijay agrees with Udhay, he risks being seen as “DMK 2.0.” If he condemns Udhay, he will instantly be branded the BJP’s B-team. Either way, Udhay has placed CM Vijay on a sticky wicket. Madurai MLA Mustafa deliberately speaking about Sanatana Dharma also appears politically calculated. Surely, such remarks would not have been made without the tacit approval of the leadership. Mustafa may have intended to divert some limelight away from Udhay, but the larger consequence has been to place CM Vijay in an uncomfortable and politically delicate position, thanks to Udhay’s strategy. DMK has always been a formidable political force when out of power, and Udhay seems determined to carry forward that legacy with elan. It will now be interesting to watch how CM Vijay handles Udhay, especially considering that Udhay possesses greater political experience and the backing of a well-oiled political machinery called DMK. GAME ON!
