From beedi rolling in a remote Tenkasi village to raiding 100+ kabaddi trophies... These Under-14 girls from Kalathimadam are even beating college teams & winning lakhs in prize money- all while their mothers roll beedis to survive.

A TVK man's celebration in Tirunelveli

The DMK's biggest mistake was getting carried away by the positive media reports that they themselves had planted. This failure wasn't limited to journalists—the DMK, despite having a vast team of analysts, completely failed to see this coming...

@Navas1Sha yes. Abdul Wahab

@thinak_ Palai- DMK??

Minority voters appear to have rejected instructions of their religious leaders. Notably, some minority institutions in Tirunelveli had openly backed DMK & issued statements in favour of ruling party. But, Tirunelveli's trend: TVK - 4 AIADMK - 1 DMK - 0 #ResultsWithTNIE @xpresstn @NewIndianXpress

@ManojSmutharasu If he can't prove majority & there is a re-election, there could be a sweep for TVK...

தவெக ஆட்சி அமைப்பதில் சிக்கல்! 234 தொகுதிகள் உள்ள தமிழகத்தில் ஆட்சி அமைக்க 118 எம்.எல்.ஏ.,கள் தேவை. ஆனால், தவெகக்கு அந்த பலம் இல்லை. எனவே, தனி சின்னத்தில் நின்று வென்று எம்.எல்.ஏ.,களை வைத்திருக்கும் அதிமுக, பாஜக, காங்கிரஸ், பாமக, சிபிஐ, சிபிஎம், விசிக, ஐயூஎம்.எல் போன்ற கட்சிகளின் உதவி தேவை. இதில் அதிமுக, பாஜகவுடன் விஜய் கூட்டணி அமைக்க வாய்ப்பு இல்லை. எனவே மீதமிருக்கும் கட்சிகளுடன் கூட்டணி அமைத்து, பலத்தை நிருபித்தால்தான் விஜயின் முதல்வர் கனவு பலிக்கும். பார்க்கலாம்!

Kerala’s waste-laden trucks & overloaded mineral lorries were blocked by NTK cadres in Tirunelveli, Tenkasi and Kanniyakumari districts, even though police cases were registered against them..Over the past 5 years, they consistently worked with local people, taking their grievances to Tirunelveli & Tenkasi collectors through petitions. During my field visits, I hv often seen them step in to help me connect with locals. In one such visit, their involvement and my story eventually led to the Tirunelveli administration shutting down a quarry in Kavalkinaru. Their RTI efforts have also helped journalists in Tirunelveli report on a range of issues. They stood with victims of alleged police excesses & organised protests. The recent dip in their vote share may just be temporary....i hope they will re-emerge.

@Stalin__SP 😍

A big day with a dynamic & energetic team. Tamil Nadu has made history.

Hereafter I can tweet whatever I think. PEN can’t intimidate me by taking screenshots and sending them to my office. Apdiye anupunalum *செல்லாது செல்லாது*

#TamilNadu CM Stalin gets uprooted in the Vijay tsunami #ResultsWithTNIE

For the first time since its inception the DMK faces an unprecedented situation with both its party leader and general secretary reportedly losing in an Assembly election.

MK Stalin loses Kolathur to TVK VS Babu

TVK candidate of Madurai Central constituency said 'antha pakkama poyi vilaiyaadunga'

His decision to contest from -#Trichy was projected as part of decentralisation efforts. If he manages to retain the seat, it is likely to be viewed as a direct response to his critics; hope it is a step towards second capital !

@JayaramArappor hope new government will expedite legal proceedings on your complaints against former DMK and AIADMK ministers

ஊழல் எல்லாம் ஒரு பிரச்சனையா?? ஆமாம் பிரச்சனை தான் என்று சொல்லியுள்ளார்கள் மக்கள்!

TVK cadres are in the celebration mood in Tirunelveli.
