Will travel to Germany, England in September to attract investments: CM Stalin
'In the past few years, I have travelled to the UAE, Singapore, Japan, Spain, and the U.S. and, as a result of my interactions with investors, the State got ₹10 lakh crore in investments, and many multinational companies have started operations in the State. This has resulted in direct and indirect employment to 30 lakh people,' he said, addressing the DMK District Secretaries' meeting. 'The evidence of this is the double-digit economic growth recorded by the State, after a gap of 15 years,' Mr. Stalin said.
'Again, I will travel abroad in September to attract investments. In the coming years, the measures taken by the DMK government would ensure that the State's economic growth is on a par with developed countries,' he said.
Mr. Stalin urged the party cadre to work to ensure the DMK's victory in the 2026 Assembly election. 'The DMK's image has been boosted through the various schemes implemented by the party, and the people are in favour of the DMK. The Oraniyil Tamil Nadu (Tamil Nadu Under One Front) initiative has receivied a good response from the public. The party's office-bearers should continue interacting with the people,' he said.
Mr. Stalin stressed the need for a strong booth-level structure, amid the row over the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls in Bihar. He said he would directly monitor appointments to the party's booth-level committees.
Before the Mupperum Vizha, meetings should be held at the district level, and the minutes should be forwarded to the headquarters, he said.

'During the voter list revision, she must have signed two different forms with two different signatures. How did she end up with two different votes, with two different ID cards in two different Lok Sabha constituencies, with two different ages in the new draft list published by the Election Commission? asked Tejashwi. Is it not a case of fraud, manipulation, and collusion by the Election Commission to ensure a victory for BJP-NDA? Yadav said. Her husband, who is JD(U) MLC, also has two EPIC cards—REM0933267 and UT01134527, alleged Yadav, adding he is also a registered voter in two different Lok Sabha seats.

Will the EC issue two different notices to Dinesh Singh from two different places?', Yadav said. The RJD leader on Wednesday had accused senior BJP leader and Muzaffarpur Mayor, Nirmala Devi and her two relatives of 'having dual voter ID cards'.

The petitioners argued that the Election Commission did not have the right to decide on citizenship, nor de facto remove an elector for the list.

Tejashwi Yadav's Fresh Voter List Charge: NDA MP, Husband Have 2 Votes Each
Patna: Amid the buzz over voter lists and the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) in Bihar, Rashtriya Janata Dal leader Tejashwi Yadav has alleged that an NDA MP and her MLC husband have two EPIC IDs. Veena Devi, from the Chirag Paswan-led Lok Janshakti Party (Ram Vilas), is the MP from Vaishali and her husband, Dinesh Singh, is a JDU member of the legislative council. "She has two EPIC IDs -- UT01134543 and GSB1037894. She has two votes in two Lok Sabha constituencies in separate districts. Her age is different on two EPIC cards. She filled out two forms during SIR and must have signed twice. Were these two signatures made by her or the Election Commission? In the new draft list the Election Commission has released, how did she get two votes with two EPIC cards in two separate constituencies and separate ages?" Mr Yadav posted on X. देर रात्रि 𝐍𝐃𝐀 सांसद वीणा देवी के मतदाता सूची में फर्जीवाडे से संबंधित एक और खुलासा:- ⛔️ श्रीमती वीणा देवी जी वैशाली से 𝐍𝐃𝐀 की सांसद है। ⛔️ इनके पास एक दो अलग अलग 𝐄𝐏𝐈𝐂 𝐈𝐃 - 𝐔𝐓𝐎𝟏𝟏𝟑𝟒𝟓𝟒𝟑 और 𝐄𝐏𝐈𝐂 𝐈𝐃- 𝐆𝐒𝐁𝟏𝟎𝟑𝟕𝟖𝟗𝟒 है। ⛔️ इनके दो अलग-अलग जिलों के… — Tejashwi Yadav (@yadavtejashwi) August 13, 2025 "Isn't this a fraud by the Election Commission to ensure a BJP-NDA victory?

Did his proximity to the Chief Minister get him two votes? He is Vaishali MP Veena Devi's husband. She, too, has two votes. Is this not a fraud to ensure NDA's victory? Will the Election Commission admit to these errors?" Mr Yadav asked. According to election rules, each voter in the country must have only one EPIC -- Electors Photo Identity Card. Hitting back, Mr Sinha said that he has already requested the removal of his name from one constituency and accused Mr Yadav of levelling false allegations. The poll body thereafter issued a notice to Mr Sinha and sought an explanation on why his name was listed as a voter in two constituencies. Mr Sinha insisted that he voted from only one place. "I vote from only one place. Last time, too, I voted from only one place. The prince of jungle-raj (Tejashwi Yadav) is simply trying to mislead people by giving wrong facts," he said. The RJD leader has also flagged two voter IDs in the name of Muzaffarpur mayor and BJP leader Nirmala Devi. In this case, too, the Election Commission has served a notice to Nirmala Devi and sought an explanation. Mr Yadav has been sharing details of NDA leaders with two voter IDs and has alleged that the poll body was helping them get two votes. The BJP has trashed these allegations.
