‘My duty is to serve': CM Stalin responds to attacks on DMK's temple welfare schemes
Stating that those who masquerade in the name of devotion cannot digest what the HR&CE department is doing, the CM said, 'However, genuine devotees are hailing our service to spirituality.'
Presiding over a wedding of 32 couples conducted by the department in Chennai on Wednesday as part of 576 such weddings organised across the state on the same day, for couples hailing from economically-disadvantaged backgrounds, Stalin referred to a cartoon that recently appeared in a weekly magazine, showing Stalin and his cabinet colleagues in a poor light, with the intent of ridiculing their allegedly insincere attempts to look being favourable to the Hindu religion.
'The cartoon did not evoke humour in me, but only pity,' he said, adding that if their (those running the magazine) objective was spirituality, they could have listed the present government's contribution in that area.

BJP to bank on Hindutva to target Shiv Sena (UBT), MNS
Mumbai: Pushed on the backfoot due to the 'Hindi imposition' row, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is set to corner cousins Raj and Uddhav Thackeray's parties by evoking the Hindutva agenda following the recent controversy over Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) workers assaulting a sweets shop owner at Mira Road for not speaking in Marathi. Mumbai, India - July 3, 2025:CM Devendra Fadnavis, during monsoon assembly session at Vidhan Bhavan in Mumbai, India, on Thursday, July 3, 2025. (Photo by Anshuman Poyrekar/ Hindustan Times) (Hindustan Times) Ahead of the upcoming local body polls across Maharashtra, the BJP has decided to strike a fine balance between protecting Marathi asmita (pride)—a key political plank of the Shiv Sena (UBT) and MNS—and Hindutva, by highlighting its contribution to promoting the Marathi language and safeguarding the interests of Hindi-speaking Hindus from other communities in the state. The BJP had decided to counter the Opposition's Marathi-Hindi language politics during its core committee meeting last week. In the wake of the June 29 assault of a businessman at Mira Road by MNS workers for not speaking in Marathi, the BJP decided to use the incident to propel its pro-Hindutva stand. On Thursday, BJP minister Nitesh Rane led the charge, terming the incident an attack on a Hindu. 'We will not tolerate our Hindu brother being attacked in the state,' he said. No stranger to controversial and provocative statements, Rane added, 'If these attackers have the guts, they should go to Mohammed Ali Road and Null Bazaar and force the cap-donning hawkers with beards to speak Marathi. Our pro-Hindutva government will not tolerate it, and strict action will be taken against the attackers.' Mohammed Ali Road and Null Bazaar are predominantly Muslim areas in Mumbai. According to MNS leaders, the BJP made businessmen in Mira Road take to the streets to protest the assault. This is believed to be part of the BJP's strategy. BJP insiders said the party's decision to take a stronger stand on the Mira Road incident was triggered in the backdrop of the Mahayuti government scrapping its recent order to introduce Hindi as the third language in primary schools. The BJP-led government had believably rolled back its decision after sensing anger among the Marathi-speaking population. The estranged Thackeray cousins had also announced a grand joint protest march in Mumbai on July 5 to oppose the move. 'We firmly believe that our Hindutva stand on such issues and the introduction of Hindi in school will help us largely in consolidating the non-Marathi voters under the agenda of Hindutva,' said a BJP leader. 'At the same time, we are not opposing Marathi or the Marathi manoos (people), as even that section is appealed to under the larger agenda of Hinduism. Our stand will not damage [our prospects in] the Mumbai Metropolitan Region (MMR) or even the rest of Maharashtra, but will damage the Thackerays for the attack on Hindu businessmen.' The BJP believes this strategy will help it consolidate voters in Hindi- and Gujarati-speaking communities, which dominate some of the nine municipal corporations in MMR, the leader said. As for Mumbai, while the Marathi-speaking population is around 29%, non-Marathi-speaking people dominate the city, the leader added. 'At the same time, not all Marathi-speaking voters will side with the Thackerays even if they decide to come together in the corporation elections. Secondly, it would be difficult for the Uddhav Thackeray-led Shiv Sena to join hands with Raj if these attacks continue, as Uddhav has been getting the support of Muslims of late. Muslims and north Indians may not support Uddhav Thackeray's party if the hobnobbing between the two brothers continues, as they hate Raj Thackeray for his stand taken against them over the years,' the leader said. A senior BJP leader and member of the core committee said that the party would undertake a drive to reach out to Marathi voters and talk about its contribution to the conservation of the language. 'We will tell people that Marathi got the status of a classical language because of the central government under Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The Modi government introduced regional languages in civil service and banking exams. And as such, there was no question of secondary treatment of the language in Maharashtra. The party will showcase how the Uddhav Thackeray-led party pushed the Marathi manoos out of Mumbai. We firmly believe that the strategy would help us even if the two Thackerays come together and, in fact, damage them more,' the leader added.

Vijay lays to rest alliance talk, says won't join hands with BJP or DMK
Actor-turned-politician Vijay, the president of the Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK), on Friday firmly ruled out any alliance with either the BJP or the ruling DMK – setting the tone potentially for a three-cornered contest in the Tamil Nadu Assembly elections next year. Addressing the first state executive committee meeting of the TVK at Panaiyur, on the outskirts of Chennai, Vijay also declared himself the party's chief ministerial candidate. 'The TVK will never enter into alliances for selfish political gains. Whether it is the BJP or DMK, our party will not stand with either. If there is any alliance in the future, it will be one led by the TVK and opposed to both the DMK and BJP,' Vijay said. He was categorical that this was not a temporary stand. 'It is not just a final resolution, but a firm one. There will be no compromise on this aspect,' the superstar said. Attacking the BJP, which has been trying to make inroads in Tamil Nadu and which has been talked of as a possible ally of the TVK, Vijay called it an 'ideological foe' and a 'divisive force'. 'For the sake of cheap politics, the BJP aims to divide people on communal lines and reap political mileage out of it. Their mischievous acts may work elsewhere, but not in Tamil Nadu,' he said, adding: 'The TVK is not like the DMK or the AIADMK to shake hands with the BJP for selfish political interests.' Underlining his commitment to Dravidian politics, and its distance from the BJP, Vijay said: 'Tamil Nadu is a land where social justice, harmony, and brotherhood are deeply rooted. The BJP can never succeed here by insulting Periyar, Anna, and other stalwarts of the state.' He also criticised the DMK government on several fronts, notably the proposed greenfield airport project at Parandur in Kancheepuram district. Among the resolutions passed at the TVK meeting against the BJP-led government at the Centre were ones demanding the retrieval of Katchatheevu, criticising the 'suppression' of the archaeological findings at Keezhadi, and, interestingly, the 'treatment of farmers' during the year-long protests on Delhi borders. The party's executive committee also resolved to oppose the Melma SIPCOT industrial expansion plan and promised to take up the cause of mango farmers in Krishnagiri, Theni, Thiruvallur, Salem, and Dindigul, criticising the state government's 'mere letter-writing' approach to the Union government. The TVK also unveiled an ambitious target of enrolling two crore members, with booth-level agents set to hold meetings across Tamil Nadu throughout July. Vijay is scheduled to embark on a statewide tour starting in September, after a second state-level party conference in August. TVK general secretary N Anand said Vijay had full authority on decisions related to alliances and party strategy. While announcing the launch of the TVK in February 2024, Vijay had said: 'Our goal is to contest the 2026 Assembly elections and lead the fundamental political change that people need.'
