One thing that became very clear to me after meeting Annamalai is that he is not going to engage in politics the way he did during his BJP years. That phase demanded constant engagement, daily responses, and fighting every battle. What lies ahead seems very different.
What I sensed now is a deep commitment to creating change from the roots rather than chasing visibility at the surface. It is a slower and harder path.
For those expecting immediate ideological declarations or reactions to every issue, patience may be the most important virtue right now. “Patience” was not just a word he used in his first speech and podcast, it is clearly a principle he intends to live by. No knee-jerk reactions. No rush to satisfy the noise of the moment.
However, his fundamentals remain unchanged… his commitment to nationalism, national security, and his respect for Modi ji’s leadership and vision. The mission, however, seems to have evolved: strengthening Tamil Nadu through the lens of nationalism while ensuring Tamil Nadu’s voice and aspirations find their rightful place in the national narrative.
His path appears to be guided by purpose to build a framework meaningful for generations.
Happy to update that the issue has now been resolved by the #OPPO Porur Service Center. The team followed up promptly, completed the service, and provided a good customer experience. Thank you for the quick response and support. #OppoFindX8#OPPOCare
Disappointed with the after-sales service from Oppo. My #OppoFindX8 power button is not working, and despite visiting Oppo service centers in Chennai and Madurai , I have received no proper response or resolution. Unacceptable support for a premium flagship phone. @OPPOCareIN
In 1990s, we had direct flights from Chennai to London and Frankfurt..
In 2026, we have people driving from Chennai to Bengaluru, to fly to important destinations in Europe..
@Keerthana4VNR ma'am. You went to S.Korea recently. Even for that you had take a connecting flight as Chennai doesn't have one. Korean airports are so good. How do you expect to convince investors to come invest in TN when your capital city has a third class Airport? Speak up!!
He may not resort to below-the-belt remarks, but this approach seems unfairly dismissive of another emerging leader and falls short of the balanced journalism I once admired.
@arun10venkat
A new low from @RangarajPandeyR. There was a time when I genuinely looked up to him as a neutral journalist. For the first time, I feel he is defending BJP unconditionally in the name of presenting facts, while consistently targeting its opponents.

RR 5 of their 8 wins were against bottom-half teams.
RCB 6 of their 9 wins came against bottom-half teams.
A win against a bottom-placed team counts for everyone, or it counts for no one. You can't change the value of points just because the team happens to be CSK
@ashwinravi99
If Chennai's 12 points are being reduced to 8 because some of their wins came against teams at the bottom of the table, then the same logic must be applied across the board
Don't count PBKS as a 15-point team either—5 of their 7 wins came against bottom-half sides
@ashwinravi99
But on what basis are PBKS & DC being praised over CSK? Is their squad strength and experience really equal to CSK’s current situation?
If injuries and squad availability matter for one team, it should matter for every team. Standards cannot change only for CSK.
@ashwinravi99
Seems @prasannalara comments on #CSK in today’s live with @ashwinravi99 were unfair. Criticizing CSK is completely acceptable when the team is at full strength. But how are PBKS, DC & KKR losses called “good fighting losses” while only CSK losses are termed unacceptable?
1/3
Ayush Mhatre, Khaleel Ahmed & Jamie Overton are unavailable, yet that context is ignored for CSK. I can understand the sympathy for KKR because injuries affected them too.
2/3
Well done, Arjun. ❤️
Proud of the way you’ve carried yourself through this season, always believing in your ability, staying patient, working hard quietly, and remaining positive despite having to wait for your opportunity till the very last match.
Cricket tests patience as much as skill, and you handled both beautifully today.
Keep your feet on the ground, and continue being in love with the game like you always have.
Love you always.👏
Then at least accept that your charismatic leader is nowhere close to Annamalai. Alliance or no alliance, he has the potential to politically outshine and defeat your leader.
Still #ADMK Cadres feels Is Annamalai really the reason for losing deposits in 101 constituencies? This blame game will only damage AIADMK further. Instead of finding scapegoats, address the real issues within the party first. Fix Edappadi’s arrogance before blaming others
