Stalin ‘super CM' in taking loans: EPS
Trichy: AIADMK general secretary and opposition leader Edappadi K Palaniswami has said M K Stalin is a 'super CM' only in taking loans. He also questioned Stalin's claims as 'Deltakaaran' while not ensuring irrigation of crops. He was speaking in Nagapattinam and Vedaranyam assembly constituencies in Nagapattinam district, and Thiruthuraipoondi in Tiruvarur district as part of his 'Makkalai Kappom, Thamizhagathai Meetpom' campaign. "Stalin claims himself to be the 'super chief minister' of the country wherever he goes. However, he is 'super CM' only in buying loans. Tamil Nadu takes the highest amount of loans in the country," he said. Palaniswami claimed that the state govt has taken Rs4.38 lakh crore by way of loans in four years, and would take another lakh crore. "It is the people who will have to pay those loans as taxes levied by the govt. Stalin made the state indebted. Every child is born indebted," he said. He said the DMK govt had increased various taxes in the past four years. Prices of commodities had gone up while the AIADMK govt kept inflation under control without revenue during the pandemic, EPS said. In Thiruthuraipoondi, Palaniswami said, "Stalin claimed while releasing Cauvery river water from Mettur that he is a Deltakaaran (resident of Cauvery delta region). Farmers in the delta region became hopeful. However, their crops withered without water for irrigation." In Nagapattinam, Palaniswami termed the DMK govt as 'family rule' and dynastic rule. He said 'Ungaludan Stalin' initiative was launched for the sake of elections. "In these past four years, Stalin was not with you (people), he was with his family. Now, he claims to be with you with months to go for the elections," he said. Earlier, Palaniswami met representatives of farmers, fisherfolk, traders and entrepreneurs in Nagapattinam. He visited the mini harbour in Nambiyar Nagar and fish landing centre in Seruthur.

DMK providing aid for women, but earning back six-fold through Tasmac: BJP leader Tamilisai
COIMBATORE:There will be no rift in the AIADMK-BJP alliance, and the party leaders will decide on the coalition government, said senior BJP leader Tamilisai Soundararajan on Friday. Addressing reporters at the Coimbatore airport, she said that though several issues remain unaddressed in the state, Chief Minister MK Stalin has instructed his cadres to focus on increasing party membership. Speaking about the Kalaignar Magalir Urimai Thogai, wherein Rs 1,000 is provided to women, Tamilisai said, 'The government is providing this amount, but is profiting six-fold by operating Tasmac and exploiting the public. The AIADMK has assured that they will give Rs 1,500 to each woman, and the BJP has a plan to guide women on how to save this money. Since we are allied with AIADMK, we will work to control the operation of Tasmac." The governments in BJP-ruled states are working to eliminate liquor shops in a practical manner, she said, adding that any party wishing to join the NDA will be considered a big party. Further, Tamilisai said Stalin ordered the resignation of five zonal chairpersons of the Madurai Corporation following allegations of a scam, which she believes is due to the 2026 Assembly election. Tamilisai also called on the DMK and its ally Congress to respond to the remarks made by DMK MP Tiruchy Siva about former chief minister Kamaraj, saying that such comments tarnish the reputation of the great leader.
