March 2025: TVK and AIADMK attended the all-party meeting convened by then DMK Chief Minister M K Stalin on delimitation.

August 2026: DMK and AIADMK boycott the all-party MPs' meeting convened by TVK Chief Minister C Joseph Vijay on the same issue.

The issue hasn't changed. The political equations have.

Similarly GST is charged on merchants not consumers.

TDS is paid by Employers not Employees.

@nsitharaman, country is blessed to have a genius like you as Finance Minister.

அதான் நாங்களும் கேட்கிறோம், திரிஷா என்ன பிரதமரா? முதல்வரா? அவரை ஏன் நீங்கள் விமர்சிக்கிறீர்கள்?

ஓ! பெண் என்பதாலா!! அதிலும் ஓர் நடிகை என்ற இளக்காரத்தினாலா?

தமிழக அரசியலில் சிலர் பேசும் கருத்துக்கள் கவலை அளிக்கக் கூடியதாக இருக்கின்றன.. இன்று காவிரிக்காக எதிர்க்கட்சித் தலைவர் உதயநிதி @Udhaystalin .. காவிரி போராட்டத்தில் விவசாயிகளுக்கு தண்ணீர் கிடைக்கவில்லை என்றோ தமிழ்நாட்டிற்கான உரிமை கிடைக்கவில்லை என்றோ எந்தவித கவலையும் இல்லாமல்.. கேட்கவே கூசும் அளவிற்கு கொச்சையான வார்த்தைகளை. முதலமைச்சரை @CMOTamilnadu @TVKVijayHQ .. விமர்சிக்கிறோம் என்ற பெயரில்.. மோசமான உள்ளர்த்தம் கொண்ட வார்த்தைகளைப் பேசியிருப்பது கட்சி எல்லை கடந்து அனைவரும் கண்டிக்க த்தக்கது... எவ்வளவு மாற்றுக்கருத்துகள் மாற்று சிந்தனைகள் இருந்தாலும்... விமர்சிக்கும் பொழுது சிந்தனையில் ஒரு தூய்மை தேவை. சிந்தனை இவ்வளவு அழுக்காக இருந்தால்.. அது @arivalayam திமுகவிற்கு நல்லதல்ல.. அவர்கள் தரம் உயரும் என்று எதிர்பார்ப்பதிலும் நியாயம் இல்லை என்றே தோன்றுகிறது.
அரசியல் நாகரிகத்தையும் பேச்சு நாகரீகத்தையும் கடைப்பிடிப்பதே மக்கள் விரும்பும் நாகரீகம்.. மோசமாக விமர்சனம் செய்துவிட்டு சிறையில் இருப்பதையும் ஊழல் செய்துவிட்டு சிறை செல்வதையும் பெருமை என்று நினைக்கும்
இவர்களிடம் வேறு எதைத் தான் நாம் எதிர்பார்க்க முடியும்?

Attn: @CMOTamilnadu @CTR_Nirmalkumar

Chennai. Last night. It rained for a while. Power went off. It came back at 9 AM.

Twelve hours.

I called the section office. I called the AE. Multiple times. Nobody picked up. No SMS. No estimated restoration time. No update. Just a family sitting in the dark waiting for someone to answer a phone.

I want to be clear about what I am not saying. I am not saying it should never fail. Rain happens. Transformers fail. Feeders trip. Things break.

What I am saying is this. Twelve hours with no information and no human being on the other end of a phone line is not a weather event. It is an sytem failure.

In all the years I have lived here, twelve hours in the dark meant a cyclone. It meant the whole of Chennai was under water and you did not expect anyone to come. Last night it meant a few hours of rain on an ordinary Wednesday.

That is the part that should worry all of us. Not the outage. The lowering of the bar for what causes one.

For two decades we priced electricity below what it costs to deliver, and we funded the gap with debt instead of honesty. Every government did it. DMK did it. AIADMK did it. Both sides called it welfare and both sides knew what it was. The bill did not disappear. It just moved. It is now sitting inside forty-year-old distribution transformers in Chennai that give up the moment it rains.

A transformer does not know which party signed the subsidy order. It only knows whether it was maintained.

So, CM @CMOTamilnadu, this is what I want to put in front of you.

Yesterday you rode the metro. You bought your own ticket. You sat in the Operations Control Centre and asked how train movements are monitored. You stood on the Kathipara bridge at 101 feet and asked about construction methodology. You ran the driverless line yourself before signing off on it. That is genuinely hands-on and I do not say that lightly.

But the metro is the upgrade. Electricity is the floor.

A city can survive a delayed metro corridor. It cannot survive an unreliable grid. Every single thing you are building sits on top of power. The hospital. The school. The IT corridor you want investors in. The small shop with a fridge. The woman on a home oxygen concentrator in Pallikaranai. The kid writing exams next.

Nobody is going to ride a driverless train home to a house with no power.

Last night the metro had a Chief Minister in its control room. The distribution network had a phone that rang out.

I am not asking you to come to my street. I am asking whether electricity distribution gets treated as what it actually is, which is the primary public service in this state, not the department nobody wants to hold.

And here is the specific thing I want an answer on.

When your government explains last night, there are only two answers available.

The first one is the one we have heard for fifteen years. A transformer fault. A localised issue. A few streets, not the whole division. Heavy rain. Teams were deployed. Supply has been restored. Every government has given us that answer, and every government meant it, and nothing changed.

The second answer is harder to say out loud. That the distribution network in this city was starved of investment for more than a decade because nobody wanted to price power honestly. That the failure is structural, it was built deliberately, and it will take money and political pain to undo. And here is the plan and the timeline.

The first answer is management. The second one is reform.

I have no doubt about your intent. None. I think you actually want to fix this.

But intent is not a system. And the system is bigger than any one person in it.

Ninety days of good intentions cannot outrun twenty years of compounding. The only thing that beats compounding is a mechanism. So I am asking for mechanisms, not assurances. Three of them. None of them cost political capital.

Every government inherits a broken system and promises to fix it. Then the political cost of fixing it turns out to be higher than the political cost of managing it. So they manage it, and hand it to the next one. That is the machine. That is how a state with our tax base ends up with a grid that fails on a wet Wednesday.

You came in saying you would break that machine.

So which answer are we getting? The transformer fault, or the truth?

One more thing.

We grew up knowing Chennai as one of India's four metros. Today, be honest about where we stand. Delhi, Mumbai, Bangalore, Hyderabad, Pune all pulling ahead. Chennai is sliding.

Quality of life is not metro rail selfies. It is roads that do not flood in October. It is power that stays on when it rains. It is a phone that gets answered at midnight.

We are chasing ribbon-cutting infrastructure while the basics rot. And here is what keeps me up. Last night was light rain in July. The real rains hit in three months. If this is what a Wednesday drizzle does to the grid, what happens in November?

Is last night the teaser for what Chennai should expect when the northeast monsoon actually arrives?

I am not asking as someone who votes for or against you. I am asking as someone in Chennai who sat in the dark for twelve hours and could not get anyone on the phone.
