This comes as a shocker, as three previously affiliated colleges of The Tamil Nadu Dr MGR Medical University have received deemed university status, which will lead to a reduction of 650 medical seats in this admission year. This will directly impact the admission of students selected under the 7.5% reservation for government school students, and the fee expected to be paid by students admitted to these colleges will be quadrupled, at the least.
The three colleges that have now been granted Deemed University status are St. Peter’s Medical College (250 seats) and Dhanalakshmi Srinivasan Institute of Medical Sciences & Srinivasan Medical College (400 seats). As for who owns and controls these institutions, that is hardly a secret; it is already in the public domain.
The Tamil Nadu Dr MGR Medical University has clarified that it has not issued an NOC to either of these colleges to apply for deemed university status. However, it is also clarified that the refusal letter issued to St. Peter’s Medical College is currently being contested in court.
The UGC (Institutions Deemed to be Universities) Regulations, 2022, in point number 5.02(i) and 5.02 (ii) clearly state that the University Grants Commission will presume that the State Government has no objection to the issuance of deemed university status if the affiliating university (in this case The Tamil Nadu Dr MGR Medical University) does not object within a window of 60 days and it will presume that the university had no objection for issuance of deemed university status.
The Tamil Nadu Dr MGR Medical University has clarified that they did not issue a NOC to Dhanalakshmi Srinivasan Institute of Medical Sciences and Srinivasan Medical College.
Hence, a pertinent question arises. Did the previous DMK Govt deliberately ignore the application filed by Dhanalakshmi Srinivasan Institute of Medical Sciences and Srinivasan Medical College and wait for the 60-day window to close?
I urge the TVK Govt to conduct a detailed probe into this matter and ensure that those responsible for this gross wilful negligence be punished. The future of aspiring medical students cannot be made collateral damage by administrative apathy or wilful political negligence. Their dreams of pursuing affordable medical education must not be stalled or sacrificed because those in power fail to act in time.
When I questioned why Vijay hadn’t visited Karur, many supporters replied, “Because the case is still with the CBI.”
Now Vijay is visiting Karur after buying out the ADMK MLA from Karur. If the earlier explanation was genuine, what has changed?
More importantly, TVK was introduced as a party that would offer an alternative to the existing political culture. But if that alternative is built by inducting leaders from the established Dravidian parties, including politicians who have faced serious public allegations and represent the very system that people wanted to move away from, then the promise of alternative politics begins to lose its meaning.
A party’s DNA is shaped by the people it brings into its fold. If those who symbolized the old political culture become the foundation of the new party, then the DNA itself changes.
The question is no longer whether TVK is different. The question is whether it is becoming just another version of the politics it once promised to replace.
A party must be open for all kinds of people. But the leaders of that party, must be real change agents.
Right now, TVK = DMK = ADMK

Why is TANGEDCO, a state-run corporation, filing an appeal in the Honourable Supreme Court against the direction of Honourable Madras High Court to hand over all the relevant files related to the ₹397 Crore Transformer Scam to CBI? Even if the appeal was filed by the previous government, was the new TVK Government in Tamil Nadu informed of this?
I urge the new TVK Government to immediately intervene and withdraw the appeals filed by a state government-run corporation to subvert the CBI probe.
If the TVK Government is truly committed to its anti-corruption promise, it must also restore the general consent for CBI investigations in Tamil Nadu, which was withdrawn by the previous DMK Government.
It is also important that there are many corruption cases, including those involving former Minister Thiru KN Nehru, for which FIRs are pending to be filed by the DVAC.

This was always the game plan…
1. First create panic amongst public by spreading a fake narrative that there is shortage of oil and gas in Bharat…
2. All the Soros gang handles on social media start spreading the word and sharing videos of engineered queues at pumps or folks complaining about cylinders…
3. Pappu Gandhi does a ‘tapori’ style protest in precincts of Parliament on fictitious shortage of cylinders…
4. Finally, start hoarding of cylinders (as below) and perhaps even buying oil in bulk to create temporary shortage that leads to hoarding among masses resulting in real shortages…
The template is clearly visible and executed…
Over to @narendramodi ji 🙏
I challenge the Dravida jokers to remove this non Tamil text from there.
Anyone who has visited Rameshwaram would have noticed this while passing over the Pamban Bridge.
I repeat, this is a challenge. Go ahead and try. I will watch you get beaten like stray dogs 🍿

Arrested in 1994 on fabricated espionage charges.
50 days in jail. Tortured. Publicly shamed.
In 1998, the CBI confirmed the case was false. But by then, a scientist’s life had already been scarred.

Forget all your vedas & shlokas, there can't be any greater devotion to the Supreme Atman Bhagwan Krishna than this.
He is already protected by Krishna & nothing can harm him.
Not even ONCE, did Ilaiyaraaja play the Minority card in his career.
Not when he was looking for opportunities, not when he was criticised by stalwarts, not even when his market dynamics got shifted when new music directors came in.
Be like Ilaiyaraaja
