Theatrical release
Curated Updates
The DMK staged protests across Tamil Nadu on September 12 condemning Chief Minister C. Joseph Vijay's Assembly remarks targeting party patriarch M. Karunanidhi and president M.K. Stalin, with senior leader P.K. Sekar Babu dismissing the Chief Minister's corruption allegations as theatrics.
AIADMK general secretary Edappadi K. Palaniswami on September 11 opposed the Tamil Nadu government's proposal to build a new Assembly-Secretariat complex on Santhome Road at Pattinapakkam, saying the roughly Rs 1,200-crore project was unaffordable given the state's debt burden and unsuitable for a site with fishing hamlets, homes, schools and heavy traffic.
With the Election Commission scheduling by-elections to the Madurantakam (SC) and Dharapuram (SC) Assembly seats for October 6, the AIADMK on September 9 invited applications from aspirants for the two constituencies. General secretary Edappadi K. Palaniswami said the party would win both seats, alleging the vacancies were engineered through defections to protect the TVK government. The seats fell vacant after two AIADMK MLAs resigned and joined the TVK.
Chief Minister C. Joseph Vijay chaired the second coordination meeting of the Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam-led post-poll alliance at the party headquarters in Panaiyur, near Chennai, on September 9. The talks were to formalise the ruling coalition, draft a Common Minimum Programme, set up a steering committee and finalise an official name for the front. The Congress, VCK, MDMK and IUML took part, while the CPI and CPI(M) stayed away, saying they are extending only outside support to the government.
