Sources : TN BJP, is jittery as its grand plans to create a situation of destabilisation against DMK government has fallen flat. With egg on its face, the BJP leadership is trying hard to create the arrest of rabid YouTuber Maridass’s arrest a huge issue. 1/6
But so far the issue has failed to gain traction except among BJP circles.

The jitteriness is so palpable that TN BJP President Annamalai lost his cool during a presser and abused the TN HoPF and TN Police calling the force ‘the worst among the country’. 2/6
TN Police too, for its part has acted smartly and arrested Maridass in Prison in an old case in Chennai City Police. This nullifies the BJP’s efforts to ensure Maridss walks out of prison on Monday through High Court. Instead of seeking bail, RSN Law Firm, 3/6
a firm belonging to TN Additional Solicitor General Sankaranarayanan chose to file a quash petition seeking quash of the FIR.

So even if that FIR is quashed, Maridass will continue to be in prison as he is arrested in another case. 4/6
Further, highly placed sources say, Maridass is likely to be arrested in another FIR pending against him in Melapalayam PS.

To up the anté TN President Annamalai is likely to meet the Governor of TN today and launch a complaint against the Stalin government. 5/6
Following the complaint, the TN Governor is likely to issue a statement that Raj Bhavan has called for a report on this incident from Govt., so that the TN BJP & Gurumurthy can wipe some of the egg off their face. 6/6

This is a project of Adani Power. The total capacity of this plant is 648 MW per day. The earlier power minister Thangamani was getting 50 paise per unit, per day as bribe from Adani.

Madras HC Judge GR Swaminathan goes out of the way to protect the Kanchi Shankaracharya, who is charged with not standing during the playing of Tamil Anthem.

Justice GR Swaminathan is a known supporter of RSS and he was all praise for Golwalkar. 1/n
He says in his order “It has already been noted “Tamil Thai Vaazhthu” is a prayer song and not an Anthem. There is no statutory or executive order requiring the attendees to stand up when Tamil Thai Vaazhthu is sung. But highest reverence and respect ought to be 2/n
shown to Tamil Thai Vaazhthu. It is true that the members of the audience conventionally stand up whenever Tamil Thai Vaazhthu is sung. But the question is whether this is the only mode in which respect can be shown. 3/n

Sources : Mutiny brewing inside @aiadmk. Several senior leaders are in an apprehension that EPS & OPS have joined hands together and conducting elections only to cement their seats and have ditched all other senior leaders of ADMK. 1/5
This has led to panic among senior leaders and they have sent emissaries to VK Sasikala and have started talking to her and plotting a coup. Sasikala’s statement after the election announcement assumes significance.

She stated that there is no room for confusion. 2/5
Things will settle down in some time.

Both EPS & OPS have announced elections for the posts of ‘Coordinator’ and ‘Joint Coordinator’ alone so that they could share the posts among themselves. A few leaders of ADMK feel that, once they are elected, 3/5

தீதும் நன்றும் பிறர் தர வாரா.

அரசு, வெங்கடாச்சலத்தை ராஜிநாமா செய்யத்தான் சொல்லியது. அவர் மறுத்தார். எனக்கு தெரிந்தவருக்கு NOC கொடுக்க 5 கோடி கேட்டுக் கொண்டிருந்தார். நான் தகவலை உரிய இடத்தில் தெரிவித்தேன். அதற்கு முன்பே விசாரணை தொடங்கியிருந்தது. அவர் நிலைக்கு அவரது பேராசையே
காரணம். ராஜிநாமா செய்திருந்தால், அவர் சம்பாதித்த பணத்தோடு செட்டில் ஆகியிருக்கலாம்.
பொதுப் பணித் துறை அதிகாரி சோபனாவின் கைது அவருக்கு கடும் அச்சத்தை ஏற்படுத்தியிருந்தது.
