Tiruchirappalli (Tamil Nadu) [India],May 25 (ANI) Tamil Nady Deputy Chief Minister Udhayanidhi Stalin chaired a consultation meeting for newly appointed DMK district and state youth wing organizers in Tiruchirappalli on Sunday.

The statement said, 'It welcomed the Supreme Court's landmark verdict affirming that Governors are not superior to elected legislative assemblies, ensuring timely assent to Bills. The meeting appreciated the leadership of Chief Minister MK Stalin and thanked the Supreme Court.' The Youth Wing strongly condemned the Union government and political forces that challenge federal principles and undermine the Supreme Court verdict using unconstitutional means. The meeting lauded Chief Minister Stalin for filing a case in the Supreme Court against the Union government's coercive condition of imposing the three-language policy to release Tamil Nadu's rightful funds. The Youth Wing praised the 'Dravidian Model' Chief Minister for making Tamil Nadu India's No.1 state with 9.69 percent economic growth, significant strides in agriculture, and doubling export value. Congratulations were extended to fifty aspirants who cleared the UPSC exams through the 'Naan Mudhalvan - Competitive Exams' initiative. The efforts of the Chief Minister and Deputy CM in launching and supporting this scheme were appreciated. The meeting welcomed the life sentences handed to nine convicted individuals, including a former AIADMK functionary, in the Pollachi sexual abuse case and reiterated the DMK government's promise to ensure justice for victims. The Youth Wing condemned the Union BJP government for delaying the release of the Keeladi excavation report that proves Tamil civilization dates back over 2,200 years. Gratitude was expressed to the Chief Minister for declaring Dr. Kalaignar Karunanidhi's birthday to be observed as 'Classical Tamil Day' from this year onward. The meeting congratulated Udhayanidhi Stalin for appointing over twelve thousand Union, City, Zone, and Perur-level organizers and deputy organizers across seventy-six party districts. Praise was extended to Youth Wing members for successfully conducting protest meetings in all 234 assembly constituencies against the Union government's partiality and Hindi imposition. Instructions were given to newly appointed office bearers to conduct street meetings across Tamil Nadu to promote Kalaignar's legacy and awareness of Dravidian Model welfare schemes. The meeting emphasized equipping Youth Wing cadres for strong participation on social media and assured full coordination with the party's IT wing. The Youth Wing resolved to expedite the appointment of ward and branch organizers and launch a door-to-door membership drive across all 76 party districts. The Youth Wing pledged full support for the re-election of the Dravidian Model government in the 2026 assembly elections under the leadership of Chief Minister M.K. Stalin and Secretary Udhayanidhi Stalin. (ANI)

Adam explains shift from fiery activist to mellow PKR Youth chief
Outgoing PKR Youth chief Adam Adli addressing delegates at the wing's national congress in Johor Bahru this morning. JOHOR BAHRU : Hang Tuah Jaya MP Adam Adli has sought to explain his shift away from his past fiery nature as an activist to a more calculated and calm demeanour as the PKR Youth chief since 2022. Adam, a former student activist, said the personal goal he had set after being elected PKR Youth chief was to lead the wing in a fair and just manner. He said he recognised that failing to ensure fairness and justice in fostering unity among members would stand in the way of the youth wing being further strengthened. Adam added that leading the youth wing while being in power demanded a lot of patience and tolerance. He also acknowledged that some saw his way of leading PKR Youth as strange given his more vociferous past. 'In leading this wing, I tried to be a little calmer and not be seen as overly outspoken in certain matters. I also chose to be more careful with my words and to weigh matters more rather than going on the offensive. 'Sometimes, it made it seem as though it didn't fit the image and persona I had established all this while. Many looked at me cynically, belittling my methods and saying I lost my sting after attaining power. 'But I cannot recklessly follow my feelings. If I'm not careful, I'll end up destroying myself and all of you with me,' he told PKR Youth delegates at the wing's national congress here today. Adam, the deputy youth and sports minister, maintained that PKR Youth members remained bold and that history had proven their capability to withstand various pressures. 'Just a few years ago, the political obsession and lust for power among certain former colleagues of ours nearly killed us off,' he said, referring to defections led by former PKR deputy president Azmin Ali and his faction in 2020. 'Being aware of this, I want to thank all my fellow leaders who understood and supported me in carrying this heavy responsibility of rebuilding PKR Youth.' Adam was elected PKR Youth chief in 2022 and is now vying for a spot in the 20-member central leadership council. Kamil Munim, a political secretary to Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim, will take over as PKR Youth chief after being unelected unopposed.
