NDA will ensure good governance in Tamil Nadu: Tamilisai
COIMBATORE: The National Democratic Alliance ensures good governance in other states, and the same will happen in Tamil Nadu, former BJP state president Tamilisai Soundararajan said on Friday.
Speaking to reporters at the Coimbatore International Airport, Tamilisai reiterated that any party joining the NDA is a grand party.
When asked about talks of a coalition govt in the state, she said BJP leaders in Delhi would handle those matters and that she would not comment on it. She denied any rift between the AIADMK and the BJP.
Tamilisai alleged that kidney trafficking was happening in the state, with irregularities reported in Namakkal where organs were transplanted in foreigners in violation of regulations.
She alleged that the transplants were conducted in a hospital run by a DMK functionary, bypassing legal procedures.
'As per available information, if a man regularly consumes alcohol from Tasmac outlets, he will spend at least Rs 6,000 a month. The govt is giving Rs 1,000 to women but taking Rs 6,000 from the same household through alcohol sales,' she said.
She said when chief minister M K Stalin and DMK MP
Kanimozhi
were in the opposition, they protested against Tasmac by holding black flag demonstrations in front of their residences and promised to shut down liquor shops once in power.

'But that never happened. Women should realise this,' she added.
When asked about AIADMK general secretary Edappadi K Palaniswami's promise to give Rs 1,500 to women if voted to power, she said he would control Tasmac outlets and that the BJP would support him. 'We have a plan to ensure that the Rs 1,500 doesn't go towards alcohol purchases. We will reveal the plan if we come to power. We are part of the alliance, and good governance will follow,' she said.

South park it there, you can't get free-er
Say what you will about the US, but there's something that is awesome about its idea of freedom: Trey Parker and Matt Stone's animated sitcom South Park 's merciless roast of the American president would be unthinkable in uncle-aunty countries. Even as Trump is seething at depictions of him in bed with Satan and an AI-generated sequence of him getting butt naked in a desert, no one has been tossed into a dungeon. At worst, South Park's parent company Paramount, which signed a $1.5 bn 5-year deal with the creators of the subversive show, will cut its losses after this expensive joke in the form of its new season opener, 'Sermon on the Mount'.The latest episode didn't just poke the presidential bear - it dressed him as a toddler, and sent him on a parade of absurdity so brutal it made stand-up satire look like polite gossip. And, yet, no censorship, no exile, no mysterious disappearance of Parker and Stone. Just outrage, applause, and thoughts about how fat the silver lining still is even in India-emulating Trumpland. You've got to admire a country where mockery isn't just tolerated, it's monetised. It's a celebration of critique and creative combustion. South Park is America's sweaty, profane love letter to liberty - proof that in a truly democratic society, even the most powerful person is fair game for fart jokes and genital takedowns.

Zohran Mamdani under fire for lavish Uganda wedding: 'Socialism for thee, not for me'
New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani is facing backlash after reports of a lavish three-day wedding celebration at his family's estate in Uganda. According to The New York Post, the Indian-origin Democratic Socialist celebrated his wedding to Rama Duwaji in a wealthy suburb outside Kampala.

It reportedly featured armed guards, a cellphone jamming system to prevent photo leaks, and tight security around the estate. A source quoted in the Post claimed that masked special forces were stationed outside the compound to guard the invitation-only event. The revelations quickly drew criticism online, particularly from those questioning Mamdani's political positions on public safety. "NYC Mayor candidate Zohran Mamdani has run on the platform of defunding the police and abolishing prisons but this is his private security outside his family compound in Uganda. Don't those that can't afford private security, also deserve to feel safe and protected?" said one X user. Another added, "Zohran Mamdani wants to ban all guns and defund the police, then flies to Uganda for his wedding, guarded by masked special forces at his family's multimillion-dollar compound. Socialism for thee, not for me." A third user taunted Mamdani's lavish celebration, mocking him as a "man of the people". "Zohran Mamdani: Nothing says American like getting married on your family's luxury Uganda compound. A man of the people," they added. "So it's ok to have masked military for his wedding but ICE isn't supposed to wear masks?" quipped a fourth user. Others criticised Mamdani's privilege in the East African country. "He is privileged. He offers freebies because he's incapable of taking any real steps to improve the economy, as that requires effort."
