There is nothing more important to my leader @mkstalin our LoP @Udhaystalin and me than #TamilNadu’s overall growth and especially industrial growth.
Every investment, every factory, every job created in our state makes us happy. Yes, irrespective of which govt is in place.
That is precisely why today’s claim of 97 MoUs deserves greater transparency.
The very fact that the press was not allowed to take part in today's conclave raises serious doubts !
The business press in Chennai has been one of Tamil Nadu’s strongest partners in promoting our investment story for decades. Why were they kept out of the conclave and why is there still no official list of the 97 MoUs ?
From the information that could be pieced together, the following picture is revealing:
• Almost 70 MoUs, accounting for around 75% of the investment value and 83% of the jobs, appear to be existing companies expanding or investment leads already put into the pipeline by the Dravdian Model govt of Honourable former #CMMKStalin.
• ₹1,000 crore attributed to Titan is from the state’s existing relationship with the company through TIDCO.
• Even if we generously include every investment that is new or potentially new, it amounts to only 24 MoUs, which is around 23% of the value and 15% of the jobs.
Let me be absolutely clear:
An expansion is welcome.
A converted investment lead is welcome. Every job is welcome.
But an investment already cultivated, negotiated or announced during the previous government cannot suddenly become a “new achievement” merely because it is presented at a new conclave.
Even though TNs industrial growth has always hit newer greater heights whenever the DMK was in power, Tamil Nadu’s industrial success is not the property of any single political party and the DMK respected this.
That is why we showcased and celebrated the strengths of our multi-talented industrial ecosystem, our Industrialists and our Investors.
The previous government built an ecosystem, attracted investors, signed MoUs, nurtured leads and created the conditions for companies to expand. The present government should also be judged fairly for what it newly brings in and credited for what it actually delivers.
This is also why the point raised by the Association of Indian Entrepreneurs today deserves attention:
MoUs → Investment → Production → Jobs → MSME Opportunities.
Jobs jobs jobs...at the MSME LEVEL.
That is the real metric.
Release the list of companies signed today to the press. Let them examine it. Let the people know what is genuinely new, what is an expansion and what was already in the pipeline.
If the numbers are as impressive as the advertisements claim, transparency can only make the achievement stronger.
Tamil Nadu deserves nothing less.
Let's stay #BullishOnTN.

Not a supporter of any party. Please don’t come and adichufy me😭🫠
But a party that stayed quiet during NEET and the farmers’ protests suddenly taking a stand on this issue just doesn’t sit right with me.

“உன் குழந்தையின் மார்பகத்தில் காம்புகள் நன்கு முளைத்திருக்கிறதா” என கேட்டார், ராணிப்பேட்டை தவெக மாவட்ட செயலாளர் என பாதிக்கப்பட்ட பெண் பேட்டி.
புகார் உள்ளது, FIR உள்ளது, arrest இல்லையே ?
மத்தபடி இந்த கைதெல்லாம் 😂
ஏன் டா இப்படி காமெடி பன்றீங்க ?
தமிழ்நாட்டுக்கு தேவையான தண்ணீரை திறந்து விட வேண்டும் என்று ஒரு அறிக்கை கூட தர வக்கில்லாத ஒருவரை தான் இந்த கூத்தாடியை தான் மக்கள் மாற்றம் என தேர்ந்தெடுத்து இருக்கிறார்கள்.🤧
Vijay stayed silent on the NEET issue out of fear.
Now on the Cauvery water crisis, he doesn’t even have the guts to firmly demand water for his own people and state. What kind of pathetic coward did people choose as “change”?
கர்நாடகா முதல்வர் எவ்வளவு தெளிவா என்ன பிரச்சனைனு பிரஸ் முன்ன சொல்லறார்!
இங்க ஒரு டம்மி சிஎம் பிரஸ பார்த்தா ஓட்டம்!
சரி அந்த ஆள்தான் அப்படின்னு சம்பந்தப்பட்ட மந்திரிகிட்ட கேட்டா, அது பல்லக் காட்டிட்டே ஓடுது!
இப்படி ஒரு கேவலமான அரசுக்கு ஓட்டுப் போட்ட மக்களால் மொத்தத் தமிழ்நாடும் குடிக்கக் கூட தண்ணியில்லாம அலையப் போகுது!

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.

Christopher Nolan just made an insanely good anti-war epic at a time when the fragmented parts of the world are at war. That too, using the greatest war story ever told. Turning into a reflection on masculinity, conflict, and the price they demand. THE ODYSSEY IS PEAK CINEMA 🛐

Ministry of Education, Government of India, releases the Unified District Information System for Education Plus (UDISE+) report every year.
The latest report has been released.
It is India's comprehensive national database on school education, covering schools, teachers, students, infrastructure, enrolment, dropouts, and various performance indicators.
Key metrics include Gross Enrolment Ratio (GER), low dropout rates, strong infrastructure (toilets, electricity, digital facilities), high retention rates, and equity across gender and social categories.
Tamil Nadu and Kerala usually lead in most categories. The attached image shows the top 10 states with the best school infrastructure.
Tamil Nadu secures the top rank in the country for school infrastructure.

Why so many high profile exits from Guidance Tamil Nadu?
Guidance Tamil Nadu is the top notch nodal agency for investments in our country.
It has contributed significantly to bringing investments to our state.
We were the first state to place a permanent representative from Guidance in Taiwan. Now, we have permanent representatives in other countries like Japan as well.
Guidance continuously scouts for opportunities across the globe and has industry experts in its team.
A very strong negative signal has been sent to investors with the scrapping of the Parandur project.
Despite requests from all major industry bodies, the project has still been scrapped.
Tamil Nadu needs investors, and they have already been waiting for a long time for Chennai to have an airport of international standards, along with extensive connectivity and top-notch air cargo facilities, among other infrastructure.
All international investors interact first with Guidance, and this agency ensures continuity by regularly maintaining relationships.
So many high-profile exits are happening at a time when the Industries Ministry is already struggling to function effectively.
I hope the government understands how critical these issues are.
