CM Stalin slams EPS for opposing HR&CE-run colleges; mocks BJP alliance
Speaking after inaugurating completed projects, laying foundation stone for new projects and distributing welfare assistance to beneficiaries at a function held in Tiruvarur on Thursday the Chief Minister wondered how Palaniswami was a CM while ignorant about such provision.
"Even MGR inaugurated Palani Andavar Polytechnic college (under HR and CE) while he was the Chief Minister", Stalin said. Palaniswami himself inaugurated the additional building for the college, Stalin said. "Even BJP leaders do not speak against opening colleges (by HR and CE). But Palaniswami do", Stalin said.
Taking a quip at the theme of Edappadi K Palaniswam's campaign tour Stalin said "he commenced the tour with the title "Tamizhagathai Meetpom" because he had aligned AIADMK with a group (sangh parivar) which has been against calling the state Tamil Nadu.
"How could Palaniswami retrieve Tamil Nadu if he could not retrieve AIADMK (from BJP)", said Stalin.
"How could you (Palaniswami) take out your tour without shame by aligning with those (BJP) who had snatched all the rights of Tamil Nadu?"

'Nazi' BJP Targeting 'Bengalis': TMC MP Mahua Moitra's Explosive Interview On Gurugram Crackdown
/ Jul 27, 2025, 10:47PM IST In an exclusive interview with TOI Bharat, TMC MP Mohua Moitra tore apart BJP for allegedly picking up Bengali migrant workers in states where the party rules under the garb of illegal Bangladeshi immigrants. In a freewheeling chat with Aditi Prasad on the recent crackdown on Bangladeshi immigrants in Gurugram, Mahua Moitra alleges that due process have not been followed while detaining Bengali-speaking migrants despite showing identity proofs. Moitra says legal migrants are being picked up on the basis of language, hinting at a sinister ploy to persecute people from Bengal. She has also issued warning that the issue will blow up in the face of BJP which aims to wrest power from Mamata Banerjee in West Bengal in the 2026 assembly elections.#mahuamoitra #mahuamoitrainterview #mahuamoitraspeech #tmc #bjp #pmmodi #narendramodi #amitshah #mamatabanerjee #bengal #bengali #gurugrambengali #gurugrambangladeshi #bengalimigrants #bengaliimmigrants #bangladeshi #bangladeshiimmigrants #illegalimmigrants #rohingyas #bsf #murshidabadviolence #bengalelections #bengalassemblypolls #toi #toibharat #bharat #trending #breakingnews #indianews

Minister slams Rahul-Ambedkar comparison
Patna: BJP functionary and minister Janak Ram on Sunday lashed out at Congress's Udit Raj for likening Rahul Gandhi to Dr B R Ambedkar, describing the comparison as "an insult" and demanding an apology. "Rahul has been a failed leader in the true sense," Janak Ram said. "In Indian politics, he is remembered as a failed leader. Congress never respected Babasaheb and comparing him with anyone is an insult to Ambedkar." The controversy erupted after Udit Raj posted on X on Saturday, "OBCs will have to think that history does not give opportunities for progress again and again. They should follow and support what Rahul Gandhi said at the Talkatora Stadium conference. If they do so, then Rahul Gandhi will prove to be the second Ambedkar for them." Responding strongly, Janak Ram accused the Congress of exploiting marginalised communities. "Despite being in power for over six decades, Congress treated the Dalit and OBC communities merely as a vote bank. It never worked honestly for their welfare," he said. "In fact, Congress betrayed these communities, and the public will never forgive them. This is the same Congress which delayed conferring the Bharat Ratna on Ambedkar but wasted no time in securing the country's highest civilian award for its own family," the BJP minister added.
