AIADMK afraid of CM's name in schemes: DMK
'Hence, the AIADMK has approached the court against the use of the chief minister's name in government schemes,' he said. Elango said the Ungaludan Stalin grievance redressal camps have been successful across the state, while the health department's Nalam Kaakum Stalin scheme will be launched on August 2.
Listing the 'Amma' schemes implemented during the Jayalalithaa's term as chief minister, such as Amma canteens, Amma water and Amma mini clinics, Elango added, 'AIADMK is afraid of the present CM's name.'He further remarked that by opposing the use of photographs of former chief ministers in schemes, the AIADMK has 'betrayed their leaders Anna, MGR and Jayalalithaa.'
Meanwhile, BJP state president Nainar Nagenthran welcomed the Madras High Court's order restraining the state government from using the name of any living personality or photographs of former CMs and ideological leaders for welfare schemes.
In a post on X, he said the court had put an end to the 'empty advertisements' of the DMK government using public funds.
'Stalin should, at least from now, understand that government welfare schemes are meant to benefit the people, not to promote himself,' Nagenthran said.

Daily struggle with the Modi regime to protect State's rights in 4-yr DMK rule: Stalin
Chennai, Aug 3 (UNI) Launching a scathing attack at the Centre which has been denying due rights to the state, Tamil Nadu Chief Minister and DMK President M K Stalin today said it has been a daily struggle for his government with an adversarial BJP-led Union Government in the last four years to protect the legitimate rights of Tamil Nadu. 'With the previous AIADMK government having signed on a charter of slavery for the entry of NEET (entrance test for UG MBBS admissions), UDAY electricity scheme, hiking property taxes, Tamil Nadu has been facing severe economic consequences,' Stalin said in an epistle to the party cadre ahead of the death anniversary of DMK Patriarch and his father M Karunanidhi. To protect the rights of the state the DMK government has been using the floor of Parliament to raise these issues besides waging a legal battle in the courts, he added. 'While Sanskrit received financial largesse, it is a pittance for Tamil, recognized first as a classical language, from the anti-Tamil Union Government, which is bent upon imposing Hindi through the New Educational Policy (NEP 2020) which will result in the extinction of regional languages. The NEP will bring back caste-based education by denying opportunities to the marginalized and backward communities. Further, it is attempting to impose the hegemonic Aryan culture and is refusing to publish the scientifically validated Keeladi excavation, which establishes the antiquity of Tamil culture,' he said. 'At a time when Governors are being used to murder democracy in states where the BJP could not come to power, the Tamil Nadu Government's legal battle in the Supreme Court has established the supremacy of elected state governments. This has helped instill confidence in democracy not only for Tamil Nadu but for all states,' he said and blamed the principal opposition AIADMK in Tamil Nadu for teaming up with the BJP instead of strengthening the struggle. 'By aligning with the BJP, which is discriminating against the state, the AIADMK is committing a grave betrayal, leaving the AIADMK cadres themselves aghast,' he added. Charging AIADMK general secretary and Leader of the Opposition Edappadi K Palaniswami (EPS) with peddling lies in his state-wide campaign, Stalin said 'Having earned an incurable stain by crawling before the BJP for the alliance, he has been parroting only lies wherever he goes.

Will Modi's new veshti strategy work down South?
(NOTE: This article was originally published in the India Today issue dated August 11, 2025)It was a sublimely choreographed moment of political theatre, of the grandiose genre that has long been seen to befit the man. Prime Minister Narendra Modi at the ancient Brihadiswara Temple, holding a vessel of gangajal from Kashi, framed against the gopuram and the blue Tamil skies behind. That July 27 image from Gangaikonda Chozhapuram, tweeted by BJP leader H. Raja with the caption 'Living Gangai Kondan', went viral. The symbolism was thick, and hard to two-day visit to Tamil Nadu, beginning July 26, also brought the usual rain of inaugurations: infrastructure projects worth Rs 4,800 crore, including the expansion of the VO Chidambaranar Port, and a Rs 450-crore terminal at the airport. CULTURAL MESSAGING If all that is a necessary part of the script in the BJP's push for the 2026 assembly election, it was the cultural spectacle and messaging that dominated the debates. Modi released a commemorative coin in honour of Rajendra Chola I, listened to Odhuvar recitations of Shaivite hymns, and attended a spiritual concert by Ilaiyaraaja. Flanked by heads of prominent Shaivaite mutts, he described the Chola empire as a 'blueprint for Viksit Bharat', praising its maritime influence and administrative acumen as early examples of Indian hailed the gesture as a reclamation of Tamil legacy. Critics, however, saw it as a calculated attempt to reinterpret Tamil history through a Hindutva prism. 'If Rajendra Chola was hailed as Gangai Kondan, it was because he defeated rulers of the Gangetic plains, not because he brought Ganga water,' says political commentator Priyan. 'The ASI's refusal to accept the antiquity of Keezhadi reflects the BJP's actual views.'Actor-politician Vijay weaponised the visit against both the BJP and the DMK, calling the saffron gestures 'political drama', but saying the DMK long ignored the Chola record, of course, reveals a handsome harvesting of history by the latter. As CM in 2010, M. Karunanidhi led the grand millennium gala at Brihadiswara Temple. In 2022, M.K. Stalin made a state event out of Raja Raja Chola's birth anniversary. 'Those late to Tamil pride are free to speak,' quips a DMK elder. 'History knows who lit the lamp first.'Senior journalist Thuglak Ramesh defended the BJP on the charge of being motivated by political gain. 'It may appear to be a strategy to counter the perception that the BJP is alien to Tamil identity. But I have heard the PM genuinely engages with Tamil antiquity. This goes beyond political calculation—it reflects a sincere personal devotion,' he says this is belied by the fact that the BJP strategy in Tamil Nadu mirrors its approach in other states and social demographies, appropriating local or community icons to build cultural bridges. He feels Tamil Nadu's unique polity—grounded in linguistic rights, social justice and federalism—would defy such subsumption. 'People appreciate such gestures, but they will still ask tough questions: about flood relief, education funding, archaeological flashpoints, the Governor. Symbolism alone won't suffice.'

As Bihar SIR sparks concern in Tamil Nadu, EC fires back: ‘Absurd to connect the two'
The ripple effects of the Election Commission's (EC) ongoing Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls in Bihar are being felt in Tamil Nadu. As leaders of the DMK and its allies, including senior Congress leader P Chidambaram, alleged that the poll body had included migrant workers, especially those from Bihar, in voter lists in the state, the EC Sunday dismissed the 'false information'. 'There is no need for political leaders to spread false information with respect to the SIR exercise being conducted by EC at the national level. It has come to the notice of the EC that such information is being deliberately peddled in the media with a view to obstruct the exercise. As far as voters who have permanently shifted from Bihar to other states and are ordinarily resident in those states, the exact figures can be known only after the SIR has been conducted … It is for the voters to come forward and get enrolled in the constituency where they are eligible. But, it is noticed that some false figures are being floated about enrollment of 6.5 lakh voters in Tamil Nadu. SIR has not yet been rolled out in TN. It is therefore absurd to connect the SIR exercise in Bihar with TN. Such peddling of false statements with respect to SIR should be avoided,' the EC said in a statement. After the EC's figures released following the end of the first phase of the Bihar SIR showed an estimated 36 lakh voters were 'missing' from Bihar's voter lists due to 'permanent migration' outside the state, political leaders in Tamil Nadu claimed that 6.5 to 7 lakh of them might have already been added to the electoral rolls in the southern state. Leaders of the DMK and its allies accused the poll panel of 'attempting to reshape the political demographics of the state'. 'This is a problem in Tamil Nadu as they (migrants) came to work here as guest workers. But giving them voter IDs will result in political change in the future. If such attempts are made, we will become roaring lions to oppose it,' DMK general secretary and Tamil Nadu Water Resources Minister Duraimurugan said in Vellore on Sunday. Chidambaram accused the EC of an 'abuse of power, and attempt to change the electoral character and pattern of states'. 'While 65 lakh voters are in danger of being disenfranchised in Bihar, reports of adding 6.5 lakh persons as voters in Tamil Nadu is alarming and patently illegal. Calling them permanently migrated is an insult to the migrant workers and a gross interference in the right of the electorate of Tamil Nadu to elect a government of its choice,' he wrote on X. 'Why should the migrant worker not return to Bihar or his/her home state to vote in the Assembly election as they usually do? Does not the migrant worker return to Bihar at the time of the Chhath Puja festival?' he asked. Claiming that a person must have a 'fixed and permanent legal home' to enrol as a voter, the former Union Home Minister said the migrant worker had such a home in Bihar. 'How can he/she be enrolled as a voter in Tamil Nadu? The EC is abusing its powers and trying to change the electoral character and patterns of states. This abuse of powers must be fought politically and legally,' he said. The Viduthalai Chiruthaigal Katchi (VCK), a DMK ally, urged Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M K Stalin to immediately convene an all-party meeting on the issue. 'The EC is carrying out SIR in Bihar, where Dalits and minorities are eliminated from the voters' list. Tamil Nadu, which will face Assembly elections next year, will also see an SIR soon, and there are chances that lakhs of guest workers from other states will be added to the voter list. This will change the entire political scenario in the state, and I insist Stalin decide on the issue,' said VCK president and Chidambaram MP Thol Thirumavalavan. The row has hit a flashpoint over deeper questions about identity and federal balance in a state that has long been governed by regional parties seen to be fiercely protective of its linguistic and cultural uniqueness. Professor Ramu Manivannan, the former Head of Department of Politics at Madras University, said migrant workers in states such as Tamil Nadu, Kerala, and Karnataka had grown in number in recent years. 'Linking them with poll dynamics moves the debate away from issue-based politics. In the southern states, it is increasingly seen as a BJP-RSS strategy and it will have tremendous long-term implications,' he said. Pointing out that voting is a Constitutional right and a 'deeply personal one' at that, Manivannan said, 'At the core, this is not about denying migrants their rights but about whether voter inclusion is based on genuine, permanent relocation or politically motivated demographic engineering. The Constitution allows you to live and work anywhere in India, but that does not automatically grant you voting rights in your new place of work. Domicile is one thing, but electoral domicile is another.' Naam Tamilar Katchi (NTK) chief coordinator Seeman echoed Manivannan's views. 'Trying to convert people from the North into voters of Tamil Nadu is a great injustice to Tamil people. All democratic forces should come forward to fight against the BJP for this tyranny, and for trying to undermine the democratic system by using the EC as a puppet to capture power in states where it cannot govern.' Tamizhaga Vazhvurimai Katchi (TVK) founder T Velmurugan went a step further. 'It is shocking that 6.5 lakh guest workers from Bihar were already added to the list of voters in Tamil Nadu. Lakhs of guest workers are already working in the state and this is a challenge to the culture and tradition of the soil,' he said, accusing the BJP of devising a 'covert plan' to form a government in Tamil Nadu through demographic shifts.
