[ad_1] GG News Bureau Chennai, 18th Nov. Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M K Stalin expressed his understanding of Viduthalai Chiruthaigal Katchi (VCK) chief Thol Thirumavalavan’s sentiments, acknowledging his true affection and appreciation. Stalin’s remarks came in response to Thirumavalavan’s gratitude for the Chief Minister’s quick action on setting up a SIPCOT industrial park in Ariyalur district (Jayamkondam) within a year, as requested by the VCK leader. In a letter to party cadres on Sunday, Stalin emphasized his commitment to fulfilling the requests made by Thirumavalavan, referring to the VCK leader’s visit to him on November 15. Though the reference was about the industrial park project, it carries political weight, especially as VCK has recently reiterated its demand for a share in power. This is further highlighted by growing political developments, such as actor Vijay’s new political outfit, Tamizhaga Vetri Kazhagam, also seeking a share in power, and AIADMK’s ongoing attempts to attract new allies ahead of the 2026 Tamil Nadu Assembly elections. Speaking to reporters in Puducherry, Thirumavalavan reflected on the national coalition politics since 1977, suggesting that Tamil Nadu might eventually see similar arrangements. However, he stated that the timing wasn’t right yet for such demands, and emphasized that the 2026 election wouldn’t be the ideal time to push forward with the power-sharing request. The VCK leader confirmed that his party would remain a part of the DMK-led alliance for the time being.

Tamil Nadu BJP Chief Annamalai Plans UK Fellowship Sabbatical

In a surprising move, Tamil Nadu BJP chief K Annamalai is set to take a three-month sabbatical to the UK for a fellowship programme, following the party’s recent electoral setback in the Lok Sabha elections. Despite not winning any seats, Annamalai’s decision to pursue the Chevening Gurukul Fellowship for Leadership and Excellence at the University of Oxford was reportedly made well before the election results were announced.

Fellowship Details and Annamalai’s Intentions

The prestigious Chevening Gurukul Fellowship is designed for young leaders and mid-career professionals with notable leadership potential. Running from mid-September to December, the fellowship offers an opportunity for participants to hone their leadership skills and gain international exposure. According to BJP sources, Annamalai had planned this sabbatical in advance and has approached the party high command for permission to accept the fellowship.

Annamalai’s Leadership and Electoral Campaign

Annamalai, an IPS officer-turned-politician, led a vigorous Lok Sabha campaign in Tamil Nadu with the backing of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and other senior BJP leaders. Although the party didn’t secure any seats, Annamalai’s efforts have been credited with laying a strong foundation for the BJP in the state. In 12 out of Tamil Nadu’s 39 Lok Sabha seats, the BJP-led NDA finished second, outperforming the AIADMK.

Reaction from Party Leaders

Party insiders stress that Annamalai’s sabbatical should not be seen as a consequence of the election results. Instead, it is viewed as a personal decision to recharge after an intense campaign and statewide foot-march, ‘Enn Mann, Enn Makkal’. “Annamalai wants to be different from the typical politician who spends all day in politics. He believes this break will be beneficial in the long run,” said an aide.

Internal Party Dynamics

Despite the sabbatical, Annamalai remains a crucial figure within the Tamil Nadu BJP. Some party leaders acknowledge his dissatisfaction with the lack of cooperation from senior members and the support for contesting the 2026 Assembly polls in alliance, which contrasts with Annamalai’s preference for the BJP to contest alone. His outspoken criticism of AIADMK leader and former Chief Minister J Jayalalithaa also contributed to the AIADMK breaking ties with the BJP ahead of the Lok Sabha elections.

Looking Ahead

Annamalai’s application for the Chevening Gurukul Fellowship, which included an interview in Delhi in May, underscores his commitment to personal and professional growth. As he prepares for his fellowship at the University of Oxford, the Tamil Nadu BJP chief aims to return recharged and ready to lead his party with renewed vigor.

M K Stalin's Vision for Tamil Nadu: A Journey Towards Democracy and Social Justice

In the bustling political landscape of Tamil Nadu, amidst the echoes of historical legacies and the clamor for a brighter future, CM M K Stalin stands as a beacon of hope. With a resolute determination and a vision deeply rooted in the principles of democracy and social justice, Stalin charts the course for a new era in Tamil Nadu’s political narrative.

As he stands against the backdrop of his father’s legacy, the late DMK stalwart M Karunanidhi, Stalin exudes confidence, ready to lead Tamil Nadu into what he terms “a second struggle for Independence” in the forthcoming elections. Having already proven his mettle by leading the DMK to sweeping victories in both the Lok Sabha polls of 2019 and the state Assembly elections of 2021, Stalin emerges as the face of hope for the INDIA bloc in Tamil Nadu.

In an exclusive interview with The Indian Express, Stalin articulates his anti-BJP stance, portraying it as a fight against the central government’s hegemony. He emphasizes the critical importance of defending the core values of India: democracy, secularism, and pluralism. With unwavering determination, he positions the DMK and its allies as bulwarks against what he perceives as fascist forces threatening the nation’s democratic fabric.

Stalin acknowledges the uphill battle ahead but expresses confidence in the strength of his team, which includes prominent leaders like Akhilesh Yadav, Arvind Kejriwal, and Uddhav Thackeray. Together, they stand united in their commitment to safeguarding Indian democracy from authoritarian tendencies.

Reflecting on his tenure as CM, Stalin highlights the Dravidian model’s core ethos of “Everything for Everyone.” He underscores his administration’s focus on education, social justice, and skill development, aiming to fulfill the vision of an educated and equitable Tamil Nadu.

Addressing the issue of political corruption, Stalin emphasizes transparency and accountability as fundamental pillars of democracy. He points to the escalating financial demands of elections and the Supreme Court’s scrutiny of the BJP government’s electoral finance practices as indicators of the challenges faced in maintaining integrity in politics.

While the DMK’s influence in national politics is significant, Stalin emphasizes that its goals extend beyond mere ministerial positions. Rooted in the principles of federalism, secularism, and diversity, the DMK has played a pivotal role in shaping India’s political landscape, contributing to alliances and movements aimed at national welfare.

In navigating the evolving political landscape, Stalin emphasizes the importance of ideological commitment, contrasting it with the BJP’s strategy of cultivating larger-than-life personas. He sees a dynamic young leader like Rahul Gandhi as a potential challenger to the manufactured image of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

Stalin’s success in maintaining a united alliance in Tamil Nadu reflects his leadership style, which prioritizes shared principles over political expediency. He envisions a legacy defined by steadfastness in upholding the values of Dravidianism and unwavering dedication to public service.

Beyond politics, Stalin’s personal interests reflect a multifaceted persona. From his passion for cricket to his dedication to physical fitness and his love for cinema, Stalin embodies a holistic approach to life, grounded in family values and cultural heritage.

As he forges ahead in his journey, Stalin remains steadfast in his commitment to serving the people of Tamil Nadu, guided by the principles of democracy, social justice, and inclusivity. In his vision lies the promise of a brighter future for Tamil Nadu, where every citizen has the opportunity to thrive and prosper.

Thalapathy Vijay's last film to be directed by H Vinoth: Reports

Thalapathy Vijay, who is presently shooting for director Venkat Prabhu's 'GOAT', is likely to team up with director H Vinoth for his 69th film. As announced, his 69th film will be Vijay's last film before he takes up politics full-time. According to reports, H Vinoth met actor Vijay and narrated a story which seems to have impressed him. It is rumoured that his last film will be produced by DVV Entertainment, who bankrolled Jr NTR, Ram Charan and SS Rajamouli's 'RRR'.

For Thalapathy Vijay's last film, filmmakers like Karthik Subbaraj, H Vinoth and RJ Balaji were in talks. Recently, Karthik Subbaraj announced his upcoming film with Suriya. Now, reports suggest that H Vinoth seems to have cracked a deal with Vijay. An official announcement regarding Vijay's upcoming film will be announced in the coming months.

It is said that Vijay might do a full-fledged political thriller as his last film, which could be a pre-cursor to his political entry. The 'Leo' actor announced that Vijay will contest in the 2026 assembly elections.

Vijay launched his political party, Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK), earlier this year. The actor announced that he will enter politics full-time only in 2026 and will be involved in expanding his base for the next two years.

In his statement, he wrote, "According to me, politics is not just another job for me. It's a sacred job. Not just political heights, I understood that I need to learn the length and breadth of politics from my predecessors. I am preparing myself for it mentally. So, politics is not a hobby. It's my deepest desire. I want to involve myself completely. Hence, I will complete one more film that I committed to and become a full-fledged politician. This is how I'd pay my debts to the people of Tamil Nadu."

On the work front, Vijay is busy shooting for director Venkat Prabhu's 'GOAT', which is likely to release later this year or early next year.

PM Narendra Modi’s Southern Focus: A Strategic Political Move

In the dynamic landscape of Indian politics, Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s strategic focus on the southern states continues to grab attention. Today, he embarked on a series of rallies in Karnataka and Tamil Nadu, marking a deliberate effort to strengthen the National Democratic Alliance’s (NDA) presence in these crucial regions.

After a spirited kickoff in Andhra Pradesh’s Palnadu, where he joined forces with the Telugu Desam Party (TDP) and Jana Sena Party (JSP), PM Modi shifted his attention to Karnataka. His presence in Shimoga, particularly significant due to its association with BJP stalwart BS Yediyurappa, underscores the party’s determination to fortify its stronghold in the state. Despite internal dissent, symbolized by former deputy chief minister K S Eshwarappa’s independent candidacy, the BJP remains steadfast in its pursuit of victory in Karnataka.

The upcoming polls in Karnataka are poised to be decisive, with the BJP vying to replicate its impressive performance in 2019. However, the formidable presence of the Congress, buoyed by its recent triumph in the state assembly elections, poses a formidable challenge.

In Tamil Nadu, PM Modi’s roadshow in Coimbatore marks a strategic move by the BJP to expand its footprint in a traditionally unconquered territory. Despite facing setbacks in previous elections, the party has intensified its campaigning efforts, epitomized by state unit chief Annamalai’s extensive state-wide campaign. The alliance landscape in Tamil Nadu remains fluid following AIADMK’s decision to sever ties, presenting both challenges and opportunities for the BJP.

Amidst these political maneuvers, the Supreme Court is set to address the State Bank of India’s (SBI) response regarding the disclosure of unique alphanumeric codes crucial for tracing electoral bond donors. The revelation of donor details by regional parties adds a layer of complexity to an already contentious issue. The BJP’s assertion of non-obligation to disclose donor information underscores the need for transparency and accountability in political funding.

In parallel, the Enforcement Directorate’s summons to Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal in a money laundering case linked to alleged irregularities in the Delhi Jal Board (DJB) further amplifies the political drama. The AAP leader’s defiance of previous summons and allegations of ulterior motives behind the DJB probe add intrigue to an already charged atmosphere.

As the political landscape unfolds, all eyes remain fixed on these developments, shaping the trajectory of Indian politics in the days to come. Will PM Modi’s southern foray yield electoral dividends? How will the judicial and investigative scrutiny impact key political figures? The answers lie in the unfolding chapters of India’s vibrant democracy.

"Good News In 2 Days": Kamal Haasan On Lok Sabha Poll Alliance With DMK

In a run-up to the Lok Sabha Elections, Makkal Needhi Maiam president and actor Kamal Haasan said on Monday that an alliance announcement will be made within two days.

While speaking to reporters at Chennai airport, the MNM chief, referring to preparations for the parliamentary polls, anticipated a "good opportunity" adding that the election works are going well.

"In two days I will meet you with good news. Work for the Parliament election are going well and we are hoping for a good opportunity. Regarding the alliance, we will announce the decision in two days," Kamal Haasan said.

Kamal Haasan reached Chennai Airport on Monday morning from the US after his upcoming movie 'Thug Life' preparation works there.

Earlier in September last year, DMK leader and Tamil Nadu minister Udhayanidhi Stalin hinted at his party allying with Haasan's MNM ahead of the parliamentary polls.

"The party leaders will decide on the alliance (with Kamal Haasan's Makkal Needhi Maiam party) at the time of the elections," Udhayanidhi Stalin had said.

Also, Kamal Haasan had come in defence of Udhayanidhi Stalin during the 'Sanatana Dharma' controversy against the latter saying that a young child (Udhayanidhi) was being targeted just because he spoke about Sanatana.

Haasan formed MNM in 2018 but faced defeats in the 2019 Lok Sabha polls and 2021 Assembly polls in Tamil Nadu.

Later, MNM extended support to the ruling DMK-led Secular Progressive Alliance candidate during the by-polls in Erode.

Also, Haasan was seen alongside Congress MP Rahul Gandhi embarking on his Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra when it reached Tamil Nadu earlier in December 2022.
