CEC Gyanesh Kumar Must Go: He Has No Right to Continue in Office!
The Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam, along with other Opposition parties, has consistently opposed the move to delete crores of voters from the electoral rolls in the name of the Special Intensive Revision (#SIR). Rushed through just months ahead of elections in State after State, the exercise was riddled with irregularities and sparked widespread unrest, particularly in West Bengal.
The explosive findings published by The @IndianExpress today, backed by evidence, have now cast serious doubts over the results of every Assembly election held after the SIR exercise. The investigation reveals that Chief Election Commissioner Thiru. #GyaneshKumar had been acting unilaterally and in secrecy, without the concurrence of the other two Election Commissioners. Even more alarming is the revelation that Thiru. Sukhbir Singh Sandhu and Thiru. Vivek Joshi were kept in the dark about crucial decisions being taken within the very institution they jointly oversee. Their objections to decisions being taken without their knowledge were brushed aside on as many as 14 occasions in just ten months. These revelations have severely eroded the credibility of the Election Commission.
The Election Commission is a three-member body whose business must, as far as possible, be transacted unanimously. Where the Commissioners differ in opinion on any matter, the decision must be based on the majority view. If two of its three members were themselves kept unaware of what was being done in the Commission’s name, this cannot be dismissed as a mere internal or procedural matter. It constitutes a grave assault on Indian democracy. The credibility of an apex institution that is expected to function independently, transparently and without political interference has been seriously compromised.
The revelations concerning the electoral rolls are equally disturbing. Appeals were filed against the inclusion of voters even after courts had ordered that their names be added to the electoral rolls. Who authorised these appeals? Who filed them? The two Election Commissioners themselves say they were kept in the dark.
The law empowers Electoral Registration Officers (EROs) to scrutinise and revise electoral rolls. Yet, they were unable to add even those who had been duly found eligible to vote. ERONet, the digital platform through which these changes had to be made, was entirely under the control of one person. When such concerns are being raised by two serving Election Commissioners, the extent of political interference that may have taken place within the Election Commission is plain to see.
As early as March this year, the DMK, along with other Opposition parties, moved an impeachment motion against Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar. He has no right to continue in office any longer. Thiru. #GyaneshKumarMustGo immediately. The SIR exercise must be halted. The DMK demands a fair and thorough investigation into everything that has transpired within the Election Commission and that those responsible be held accountable.

I resigned from Anthropic today. I spent the last three years doing pretraining research at both OpenAI and Anthropic. Neither company is acting responsibly. They are racing straight to self-improving superintelligence and gambling with our lives. More thoughts below.
சுற்றிலும் திமுககாரங்க இடம் வாங்கி வச்சிருக்காங்க என்று ஒரு கற்பனையான காரணத்தை சொல்லி பரந்தூரில் விமானநிலையத்தை நிறுத்திட்டு, ஏற்கனவே தான் வீடு வாங்கி வசித்து வரும் இடத்துக்கு நேர் எதிரே புதிய தலைமைச் செயலகத்தை கட்டுறீங்களே!
யார்யா நீங்கல்லாம்?
ஊருக்கே சகுனம் சொல்லும் புரட்சிப் பல்லிகளான கம்யூனிஸ்டுகள், விசிக, நீலம், மற்றும் தோழமை சக்திகள் இந்த திடீர் திருப்பம் தொடர்பாக கருத்து தெரிவிக்க வேண்டும். இவர்களது யோக்கியதை முதலில் அம்பலமாக வேண்டும்.
பிரிஜ்பூசனை பாஜக பாதுகாத்ததைப் போல இந்த கிரிமினல் கேபினட்டை புரட்சித்தோழமைகள் காக்கின்றன.
இந்த மாநிலத்தின் மக்கள் எவ்வளவு அறிவுகெட்டவர்களாக இருந்தால் இவர்கள் இப்படிக் கடப்பாரையை வைத்து காது குத்துவார்கள்?
விவசாயம் பாதிக்கும்னு ஏர்ப்போர்ட் திட்டம் கைவிடப்படுமாம். அந்த விவசாய நிலத்துலயே தொழில் திட்டங்கள் செயல்படுத்தப்படுமாம். 😆
Look at the shocking number of views of these propaganda videos!
Similar script again. Several Hindi speaking influencers parroting the exact same script, but with a fake narrative.
Fake Claims : "CM Vijay Thalapathy's decision has shocked Tamil Nadu. He said that regardless of whether a r@pe victim is eight or 18, is Hindu or Muslim, from UP/Bihar or from Tamil Nadu, the accused will not be jailed but will be hanged or encountered". 😂😂
"Ab ye Kya Kardiya Vijay Thalapathy ne?" 😂😂
Look at the number of Views. 🫨🫨
Claim : Vijay (Thalapathy) ordered the removal of temple donation boxes to place them in schools and hospitals.
According to Several Hindi Influencers, CM Vijay ordered temple "daan petis" (donation boxes) to be redirected to government schools and hospitals.
Fact :
No Official statement by CM Vijay or his office has ever been made calling for the removal or relocation of temple donation boxes.
Wow! Look at the number of Propaganda reels with misleading claims!
"CM Vijay Thalapathy ne Modi se Seedhe Panga le liya hai" 🤣🤣
After Petrol and Diesel prices were increased by ₹3 per litre. CM Vijay called the hike unacceptable.
Soon after, Hindi Social media Influencers started making reels with exaggerate claims that Vijay has given an ultimatum to PM Modi regarding state tax exemptions if the price of petrol prices are increased in Tamil Nadu.
The claim that Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Joseph Vijay @actorvijay announced government salaries for mosque Imams is completely false. This viral rumor which is widely circulated via Instagram reels by public figures and Hindi Insta influencers is entirely fabricated.
Fact Check : There are No Official Orders, Neither the Tamil Nadu govt nor CM Vijay has issued any such press release, budget allocation, or government order.
Of late, You must have seen lot and lots of Hindi Influencers on Instagram praising Tamil Nadu CM @actorvijay@CMOTamilnadu. Most of the claims are either Fake or Exaggerated claims. Most these misleading video get 'views' in crores and 'likes' in Millions.
For some reason, Most influencers repeat the exact same script.
Here's such claim that TN CM Joseph Vijay appeals in High court that nobody in Tamil will be allowed to do a cow slaughter in Tamil Nadu?
No, This is Fake News! 'Thalapathy Vijay' did not appeal in court to stop or ban cow slaughter. In fact, the reverse happened. The state government challenged a court-ordered ban.
Look at the number of people repeating the same fake News.

காவிரி நதிநீர் சிக்கல் தொடர்பாக கர்நாடக முதல்வர் பத்திரிக்கையாளர்களைச் சந்தித்து விளக்கமளித்திருக்கிறார்.
இங்கே ரீல்ஸ் எடுக்க போஸ் மட்டுமே கொடுக்கப் பழகியிருக்கும் நபர் எப்போது வாய் திறந்து இதைப்பற்றிப் பேசப்போகிறார்? தண்ணி கிடைப்பது என்பது இரண்டாவது. முதலில் தமிழ்நாட்டு விவசாயிகள் தேர்ந்தெடுக்கப்பட்ட இந்த அரசின் முதல்வரிடம் பொறுப்பான பதிலைப் பெற வேண்டும்.
தமி���்நாட்டின் வாழ்வாதாரப் பிரச்சனைக்குக் கூட வாய் திறக்காமல் சூட்டிங் எடுத்து ரீல்ஸ் பரப்பிக்கொண்டிருக்க முடியும் என்றால்? தமிழர்களின் சுரணை அளவு எப்படி இருக்கிறது? காண்டாமிருகத் தோல் வாய்த்திருக்கிறதா?
சாம்சங்கிகள் எவனாவது இப்ப எம் ஆர் எப் தொழிலாளர் பிரச்சனைய பத்தி வாய் தொறக்கறானா கவனிங்க!
பேச்சுவார்த்தை, தீர்வுனு முயற்சி செய்த திமுக மாடல் எல்லாம் இவனுகளுக்கு செட்டாகாது. பொட்டு மாமா போலீஸ விட்டு பொளந்துகிட்டிருக்காரு! பொத்துனாப்ல ��ருக்கானுக. 😹
The fact that you can’t check into a hotel until 4pm when the day is basically over but have to check out by 10am the next morning should honestly be illegal.
PM @narendramodi has set a new world record for the most views on an Instagram Reel within 24 hours, with over 303 million views.
The previous record stood at 300 million views.
