The level of caste solidarity established by the silence of @EPSTamilNadu and @annamalai_k over the pedophile #Veeramani case in TN needs to be studied extensively. Multiple Minor kids getting abused doesn't affect their conscious. Learn to the levels, caste plays it's role.
Tamil Nadu Finance White Paper present by TN govt: In a nutshell.
• TN’s fiscal position worsened continuously in the post-Covid period (2021–26), while peer states such as Karnataka, Maharashtra and Gujarat improved/stabilised.
• Outstanding debt nearly doubled:
₹5.13 lakh crore (2021) → ~₹10 lakh crore (2026)
• Revenue deficit hit a record:
₹46,538 crore → ₹78,324 crore
(State borrowing increasingly used for day-to-day spending)
• Own tax collection weakened:
Tax effort fell from 5.93% → 5.45% of GSDP. Lowest level recorded for TN.
• Interest burden surged:
Interest payments rose 61%
₹41,564 crore → ₹67,050 crore
• TN now spends more on servicing debt than creating future assets:
Interest payments exceed capital expenditure (1.32:1).
• Capital expenditure declined:
1.79% → 1.44% of GSDP
• Salaries + pensions + interest now consume:
64% of revenue receipts
~87% revenue already committed before budgeting.
• Government guarantees almost tripled:
₹65,659 crore → ₹1.8 lakh crore
• Including PSU liabilities, total fiscal exposure estimated at:
~₹13.18 lakh crore
• Fiscal deficit stayed above FRBM limit (3%) every year;
2025–26 estimated at record ₹1.33 lakh crore.
• White Paper flags:
— Revenue leakages
— Systemic corruption in revenue departments
— Rising expenditure pressure
— Need for PSU reforms & debt correction
• 2026–27 outlook:
Revenue deficit could reach ~₹90,500 crore vs ₹48,696 crore projected in Interim Budget.
• Warning:
TN’s ageing population may shrink tax capacity while increasing welfare & healthcare spending.
Bottom line:
The paper argues TN’s fiscal stress is structural, not temporary and calls for tighter revenue mobilisation, expenditure discipline, PSU reform and cleaner governance.
🎓 “Peace be upon you. From the students of Harvard, to the youth of Dahieh, to the sons of Nabatieh, and the people of Tyre.”
Harvard Medical School graduate Leen Ezzeddine, from the southern Lebanese town of Arabsalim, used her graduation speech to remind her peers of the students in Gaza and southern Lebanon who do not benefit from the same “arbitrary luck and circumstance” that she and her classmates have enjoyed.
Ezzeddine said her presence at that podium was “evidence of what survives the border, the bomb, and the exile,” and of “what becomes possible when people the world has tried to erase are allowed to live.”
I had hacked CBSE's OSM (On-Screen Marking Portal) in February and had reported the vulnerabilities to CERT-In, but they were unable to patch most of them.
I've written a detailed blog post about it here: https://t.co/qyT23GkTEJ

How many debates have you seen on this?
Portfolio investors have pulled out Rs2tn ($21bn) from Indian stocks in the last two months
It is the worst year thus far for foreign flows since the markets were opened to overseas investment in 1993.
We are seeing a lot of debate and discussion about the underhand discussions between AIADMK and DMK with background support of BJP. However, this has been amply clear for last several years for those following up DVAC cases of AIADMK corruption. We saw how DMK worked overboard to save several admk corruption cases such as adani coal import scam, kp park scam. Velumani corruption, Ration dhal, palmoil scam and many others. Also DMK not filing FIR in adani coal scam and working with BJP govt to do the 992 crore Christy ration transport scam showed how all of them had a clear underhand dealing when it cme to Corruption. DVAC officials faced pressure not to register or even recomment FIR in many scams. After Thiruma spoke in a interview yesterday, what we have been saying for a few years has come out in the open clearly!
Chief minister C Joseph Vijay has set a three month deadline to eradicate corruption in all state departments: Minister Aadhav Arjuna.
How can you curb corruption for starters in civic projects?
1)Ensure all tenders are e-tenders, floated only in TN tenders website and open participation for any bidder from anywhere in the world.
2)Keep competitive bidding and democratically give the L1 the tender award (project).
3) Appoint honest officers who won’t interfere and seek kickbacks for tender awards.
4) Ensure officials who pass the bills for completed work in phases throughout the project by ascertaining QC and PMC. Officials must monitor the PMC who shouldn’t get kickbacks to give QC certification for projects. Bill passing authority must not seek % of commission in bill to pass it.
Majority corruption will stop if this is followed. Will the commission culture end?
The insecurity of the BJP government has reached a truly pathetic level. When a single Reel of Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi with Thalapathy Vijay explodes to 12 million views in just an hour, the system suddenly develops a convenient technical glitch. It is honestly embarrassing to watch a regime that claims to be so powerful act with such blatant cowardice.
They might have the mainstream media in their pocket, but they clearly can't handle the pulse of the people when it moves in a direction they don't like. Seeing the massive public reach of the opposition makes their hands tremble at the delete button, proving just how fragile their ego really is.
This is a clear abuse of power where MEITY rules are used as a shadow to bully tech platforms into silencing anyone who challenges the narrative. If you aren't afraid of the truth, you wouldn't feel the need to break the momentum of a viral post or hide it from the public eye. From restricting reach on X and YouTube to pulling down Instagram posts, these are the hallmarks of a regime that knows its grip is slipping.
It is almost comical that they are so terrified of a video of two popular leaders meeting. You can try to shadow ban the content all you want, but you can’t shadow ban the reality of the situation. The more you try to suppress these voices, the louder the roar of the people will get.

What did I just see, the Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu helped the staff carry a table away from the stage so that his council of Ministers could take group photographs with the Governor.
Sorry to say this, but a spade should be called a spade. Why did Vijay go to the Governor when he had support from only 116 MLAs?
And if he was going there with elected MLAs, why did he also take his friends along to meet the Governor? Why did no one in the group say it was unnecessary? At least Sengottian, being the senior-most, could have advised against it. Is this a sign of interference in governance?
It has now been nearly three hours since TTV Dhinakaran levelled allegations of horse-trading. Why has there been no response from the party yet?
@MSimath Dai loosu paiyalle the government is for all citizens irrespective of their party affiliations! Also TVK stands on the belief of running a government for all living beings!
Please go join the Delusional Munnetra Kazhagam and at least get paid for these stupid opinions!
TVK fields 8 SCs in unreserved seats
4 win!
This is over and above the 44 reserved seats
2 barriers to social justice in TN
Power for SCs, power for women
Better demonstration of political justice for SCs than we have seen in decades
