We had nauseating, disgusting levels of corruption in Tamil Nadu under the DMK. This is known to the entire Universe, not some grand secret.
It reached such Himalayan heights, their own Finance Minister, someone not corrupt who was caught up with the corrupt crowd, was complaining about it (sadly for him his remarks became public and he was demoted to became the IT Minister).
This is not about ideology.
Even the Marxists of Kerala, then allied with the DMK, would say how deeply corrupt the DMK was.
I have always appreciated people like Shri Balagopal, the former Finance Minister of Kerala, for his devoted public service. I am sure he and I will not agree on political philosophy or ideology but I deeply respect him.
If the DMK truly wants to introspect, they must start with their corruption.
Instead, they spend their time attacking a messenger like me as a TVK stooge or a Brahmin or a Sanghi and so on.
May be they can study Kural 423: focus on the message, even if the message comes from a "Brahmin Sanghi TVK stooge" like me:
எப்பொருள் யார்யார்வாய்க் கேட்பினும் அப்பொருள்
மெய்ப்பொருள் காண்ப தறிவு.
Our rural school Kalaivani Kalvi Maiyam, which provides completely free education to rural children, faced delays getting approvals from the previous government. Of course, significant money was demanded and we were told that was the only way, even if it is a completely free school.
After @TVKVijayHQ came to power, approvals have happened quickly and automatically.
I am very happy to appreciate this positive development in our state. Thank you Thiru Vijay Avl for this refreshing change🙏
Congratulations to Praggnanandhaa for this remarkable feat!
This is indeed an incredible milestone that highlights his continued excellence.
My best wishes to him for his future endeavours.

I remain forever indebted to your love and trust. Once again, my sincere thanks to everyone.
Wow. Called it before the IPL… back to back champions !!!
Congratulations to @imVkohli, @rrjjt_01, Mo Bobat, Andy Flower and the entire @RCBTweets team.
From day one, this looked like the most complete team in the competition. Consistent, clinical and deserving champions.
Enjoy the celebrations Bengaluru🏆❤️
RCB played outstanding cricket throughout the tournament and fully deserved to be crowned champions. Winning the title is special; defending it and lifting the trophy for a 2nd consecutive year is a remarkable feat.
The men in yellow have the habit of making spectacular comebacks. CSK will be back with a bang next season!

There’s no bigger advertisement for Test cricket than if Sooryavanshi tells the world his dream is to play red ball for India.
Our hopes sit with you young sir.
When Udayanidhi Stalin repeatedly attacks "sanathanam" in Tamil, why is there not more outrage among the highly religious Tamil Hindu population?
I believe it comes down to language.
In Tamil language, the word "sanathanam" (eternal in English) is not in regular use. Most Tamil people do not know this word and I did not know it myself as a child.
On the other hand the word "dharma" (spelled as "dharmam" or "dharumam") is common in Tamil and there is a district named Dharmapuri in Tamil Nadu. There is also the word "aram" used in Tamil with the same meaning as dharma.
Interestingly, in Hindi, the word "dharam" means "religion" in general and Hinduism is "hindu dharm" or "sanatan dharam" and Christianity is "isai dharam" in Hindi.
But in Tamil usage, the word "dharmam" would effectively mean "Hindu dharam" in Hindi.
Now if Udayanidhi had attacked "dharmam" in Tamil (which effectively means Hinduism) he would be widely criticised for proclaiming adharmam.
That is why he is picking the word "sanathanam" to attack because that word is not widely known in Tamil.
With all his "sincere" effort, he is making the word known in Tamil too and he has made the already huge anti DMK vote in Tamil Nadu even bigger. The DMK has never won a majority on its own ever, because of that huge strong anti-DMK current. They established that current with their constant attacks on Hindu deities. The AIADMK never did that and they harvested the anti-DMK current well.
Now, in spite of the TVK being the new anti-DMK party and in spite of the AIADMK splitting the anti-DMK vote (see how I worked it!) and in spite of the DMK spending extraordinary amounts of cash, in spite of the DMK having a strong alliance and the TVK having no alliance, the DMK lost the election.
Udayanidhi wants to ensure the DMK would never come back. May the eternal sanatana dharma grant his wish 🙏😉
Congratulations to our Honourable Chief Minister Thalapathy Vijay Anna on successfully winning the Assembly floor test and earning the confidence of the House.
Wishing you strength and success in serving the people of Tamil Nadu and leading the state towards progress.🙏🏻

Heartfelt congratulations to @TVKVijayHQ Chief Thiru @actorvijay AVL, on taking oath as the Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu, and to all those who took oath as Ministers.
I wish the new government will fullfill the aspirations of the people, ensure transparent and progressive governance, and lead Tamil Nadu towards greater growth and prosperity.
@actorvijay, my brother, they said it was impossible, they said it was just "fan frenzy," but look at you now. "Enna nanba, solli adichomla!" You’ve taken those words off the 70mm screen and etched them into the history of this land. You’ve taken that raw, cinematic energy and turned it into a real-world revolution. The roar is real, the win is historic, and the future is yours. Proud of you, CM Sahab! Vaazhthukkal Thalapathy!
Tamil Nadu has chosen.
A new generation. A new voice. A new imagination.
My good wishes to Thiru Vijay - may he fulfil the hopes of the people of Tamil Nadu.
