நீங்கள் #நான்_முதல்வன் Social Media பக்கங்களின் பெயரை மாற்றலாம். அதில் இருந்த பதிவுகளை delete செய்யலாம்.
ஆனால், இதுபோல ஆயிரம் ஜெனிபர்களின் கனவை நனவாக்கிய நான் முதல்வன் திட்டத்தின் சாதனைகளையும் நன்றியுணர்வையும் மக்கள் மனங்களில் இருந்து Delete செய்யவே முடியாது. அவை அவர்களின் இதயத்தில் ஆழமாக Archive செய்யப்பட்டுவிட்டன.
கடந்த 5 ஆண்டுகளாக, எனது ஆட்சிக்காலத்தில் “படிங்க, படிங்க, படிங்க” என்று தொடர்ந்து சொல்லி வந்தேன். அப்படி படித்து முன்னேற விரும்பும் இளைஞர்களுக்கு உதவத்தான் #நான்_முதல்வன் எனும் என் கனவுத் திட்டத்தைத் தொடங்கினேன். அதனை முடக்குவது தமிழ்நாட்டு இளைஞர்களின் வளர்ச்சியை முடக்கும் செயலாக அமைந்துவிடும்!
At the @IndianExpress Adda, I spoke about how politics can be unforgiving. We competed fiercely with the previous DMK government in Tamil Nadu for investments - won some, lost some.
But I never heard an investor complain of being asked for money by the government. Credit where it's due: the DMK government ran a clean and professional investment process and that deserves appreciation.
@VamsiChandran@Bring_congress If Congress had taken 60 seats, TVK would’ve lost more than it gained. Many voted for the Whistle, not the Hand. Those votes could’ve easily drifted to the Sun or Two Leaves.
@YX1a1a @Krishna_Reddy_1 @babayagawm@DMK662000@mkstalin@Udhaystalin If it had been JJ, she would have assembled all the victims’ families, turned it into a media spectacle, and pushed for Vijay’s arrest. Yet, even today, many people still think DMK was behind the tragedy.
@gopinathvijay91 Calling everyone “tharkuri” is one reason many neutral voters moved away from DMK. Yes, some may deserve criticism but not everyone. Instead of mocking, educate new voters about how the Dravidian movement started in the 1960s, the social change it created, and the impact today.
Possible upcoming scenario:
CM Vijay says Tamil Nadu is facing ₹10 lakh crore debt and a financial crisis.
PM SHRI scheme deadline approaches.
Government says finances are tight, so PM SHRI is allowed to access Central funds.
1/2
Meanwhile, virtual warriors will suddenly say:
“Learning Hindi is good.”
“DMK only does language politics.”
For those warriors, a simple explanation:
• Person A earns ₹1 lakh/month and takes a ₹50 lakh home loan.
• Person B earns ₹2 lakh/month and takes a ₹1 crore home
The fact is: none of the primarily hilly area constituencies in Tamilnadu are won by TVK.
Ooty, Gudalur, Coonoor, Valparai, Yercaud & Palani (Kodaikanal).
The reason: Poor mobile connectivity.
Digital deception failed.
When you have to forget your dignity and beg for 5 MLA seats from other parties, and they ended up rejecting you stating they need approval from a 73 year old grandpa who just lost his own constituency.
There has been a lot of discussion of late about who gets the credit for the iconic #Kathipara Grade Separator in Chennai.
It’s good to see political parties in TN try to outrun each other in taking credit for infrastructure development rather than fighting over petty issues.
We tried to dig in to find the actual history of the Kathipara interchange, but very little information is available on the internet, and it took some time to find the following details:
👉 Kathipara is India’s first grade separator and a fully centre-funded project executed by NHAI.
👉 Land acquisition for the Kathipara interchange was done predominantly (though not entirely) by the ADMK government under J. Jayalalithaa, including the handover of SIDCO Industrial Estate land.
👉 The Kathipara grade separator project was initiated by the UPA government under Manmohan Singh as PM, in which DMK was a key coalition member, holding important portfolios including the Union Ministry of Road Transport & Highways (MoRTH) under T.R. Baalu.
👉 Land acquisition for the project was not fully completed until 2007, when DMK was in power in TN.
👉 The foundation stone for the Kathipara grade separator (along with flyovers at Maduravoyal, Padi, and Koyambedu) was laid by DMK leader M. Karunanidhi on January 30 and February 1, 2005. Notably, he was not the CM at the time (J. Jayalalithaa was the CM and was not part of the event). The foundation stone was laid on behalf of the Union Government and Union MoRTH Minister T.R. Baalu.
👉 The progress of the Kathipara grade separator was closely and periodically reviewed by Union MoRTH Minister T.R. Baalu, and the fully completed interchange was inaugurated by then TN CM M. Karunanidhi on October 26, 2008. Kathipara is undoubtedly a brainchild of the DMK, with its role in the UPA being a primary factor in making it the country’s first grade separator.
👉 The Chennai Metro Phase I project was initiated by the UPA government in collaboration with the then TN government led by DMK, in a 50:50 partnership between the Centre and State in 2007. The two metro lines above Kathipara, as part of the Phase I network, were planned, sanctioned, and had execution begun during the DMK term with the groundbreaking done by then Deputy CM MK Stalin on June 2009. Significant progress in Phase I Metro occurred after the ADMK came to power in 2011 (despite attempts by CM Jayalalithaa to stall the project). The Phase I network was eventually completed and inaugurated in phased manner fully during the ADMK regime.
👉 The space below the Kathipara grade separator, now known as Kathipara Urban Square, was initiated by the ADMK regime in 2018, but slowed down due to COVID. The project was completed and inaugurated by CM M.K. Stalin in December 2021.
👉 The under-construction, super-tall 108-ft-high Metro Corridor 5 across the Kathipara grade separator—over and above the Phase I Metro lines—was approved and initiated during the ADMK regime with BJP at the Centre (Foundation stone for Phase II was laid by Union Home Minister Amit Shah in Nov 2020, with much of its execution happening under the current DMK government, including securing approvals and funding support from the BJP-led Union Government.
DMK, INC, ADMK, and BJP have all contributed significantly at various stages to make Kathipara what it is today. However, it remains undisputed that DMK was the prime mover in turning the iconic Kathipara into a reality.
Hope successive governments in TN strive to outdo each other in infrastructure development in the state, rather than limiting themselves to competing over taking credit for it.

@tata_neu Why push misleading ads?
Your promo claims ₹10k/month for 15 years becomes ₹3.18 Cr — that requires 33% CAGR, which no fund house has ever achieved.
This is false advertising. Fix it.
