🔴Stage 2 Hypertension: ≥140/90 mmHg.
Typically requires a combination of medication and lifestyle modifications.
🔴🔴Hypertensive Crisis: >180/120 mmHg.

Annamalai is a farmer’s son.
He is an MBA graduate and an IIM topper. He served as an IPS officer for 8 years with a clean record.
As the former BJP Tamil Nadu State President, he took a party that had around 2% vote share and expanded its reach across Tamil Nadu, helping it grow to around 12%.
Now, he is starting a new party with the support of many youngsters and common people.
You and Annamalai are both 42 years old, yet you keep criticizing him without looking at the facts. He has already emerged as a strong leader...
Wait and watch @annamalai_k 's politics 🤜🤛
@magicalrealsm@dmuthuk MAA has seen a steady decline in its intl network growth coupled with expansion at BLR and HYD. The danger is without a new airport this will continue until MAA is left with a few legacy routes with most connections through BLR. This story was 2 yrs ago.

During my years in service, and even after retirement, I have interacted with numerous senior police officials in both official and personal capacities. Never once have I witnessed such casual, insensitive behaviour, poor public conduct, or complete absence of leadership as displayed during the Coimbatore police press conference concerning the horrific abduction, assault, and murder of the 10 year old girl in Sulur.
Officers smiling and appearing casual while addressing the media on such a brutal crime reflects a disturbing lack of empathy, professionalism, emotional maturity, and basic human decency.
A uniform and rank is not merely a position of authority, it carries the responsibility of dignity, restraint, compassion, and moral seriousness, especially while dealing with unimaginable human tragedy.
Such behaviour damages public trust in institutions and sends a deeply wrong message to society. Immediate accountability, along with a thorough review of police media conduct, and protocols for handling crimes involving children and women, is absolutely essential.

Just days after Vijay became Tamil Nadu Chief Minister, social media exploded with viral claims, AI-generated images and exaggerated political narratives around TVK. From fake “historic firsts” to recycled government schemes, in this episode of Focus Tamil Nadu, @dsureshkumar separates facts from fiction in the age of viral politics.

Whatever the causes behind the DMK’s defeat in Tamil Nadu, and whatever role the party’s first family may have played in creating public resentment, I still continue to regard M K Stalin as one of the few real statesmen left in Indian politics.
In Indian politics, defeat usually produces denial, arrogance, silence or revenge. Rarely humility. That is why Stalin’s response after the election stood out so sharply.
Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan, after the shocking electoral collapse of the Left in Kerala, has not even cared to release a simple two-line Facebook post consoling emotionally shattered cadres and followers. Thousands of ordinary CPM workers who defended the party for years were left directionless after the verdict. Silence became the political response.
Mamata Banerjee, after suffering humiliation in Bengal in another phase of her political journey, publicly declared she would not resign. Across India, leaders often treat electoral defeat as temporary inconvenience or conspiracy. Very few acknowledge the emotional investment of ordinary workers.
But Stalin chose another path altogether.
The very next day after counting, despite losing even his own constituency Kolathur to an electoral novice from Vijay’s TVK, Stalin went back to the locality. No anger. No drama. No blame game. He walked among the people and thanked them for standing with him for decades. Videos from the locality showed emotionally overwhelmed party workers crying openly. Many held his hands. Some could not control their tears. Stalin attempted to console them instead.
That moment mattered politically because it reflected something increasingly absent in Indian politics. Democratic culture.
Today I saw The Times of India Chennai edition carrying his interaction where Stalin said he would not disturb Vijay for the next six months if the latter forms the government. He said he was not interested in creating instability in Tamil Nadu. He said people should not be dragged into another election. He expressed hope that the new government would continue welfare schemes while implementing TVK’s manifesto promises. Only after six months, he said, would the DMK begin constructive criticism as Opposition.
That is not weakness. That is political maturity.
To AIADMK leaders who mocked the DMK after the defeat, Stalin simply responded that the DMK would sit in the Opposition. Nothing hysterical. Nothing desperate. Just clarity.
One must remember that the DMK is not an ordinary electoral machine. It is one of the most ideologically rooted Dravidian movements in modern India. The party survived dismissals, Emergency-era repression, corruption allegations, splits, the deaths of towering leaders, and repeated electoral destruction. After MGR’s rise many predicted the end of the DMK. After Jayalalithaa’s dominance many wrote its obituary again. Yet the party returned each time because its social foundations remained intact.
Stalin himself spent years under the shadow of Karunanidhi. Critics mocked him as politically weak and lacking charisma. But over time he rebuilt the party structure patiently. He strengthened welfare politics. He sharpened the DMK’s secular positioning at a time when majoritarian nationalism was rising aggressively across India. He defended federalism. He consistently articulated Tamil identity without slipping into separatist rhetoric. During NEET protests, language debates, governor-state confrontations and questions of social justice, Stalin gave ideological direction to the Dravidian discourse.
That political foundation has not disappeared because of one electoral defeat.
What collapsed this time was electoral arithmetic. In a multiparty democracy, perception often defeats ideology. Celebrity appeal overtakes organisational depth. Anger accumulates silently against incumbents. Welfare fatigue sets in. Internal contradictions within ruling families create resentment. Every dominant party eventually faces this cycle.
