Tamil Nadu

The death toll in the Tamil Nadu Hooch tragedy has risen to 56, according to the district administration's report released on Sunday.

Meanwhile, in the wake of the deaths in Kallakurichi in Tamil Nadu, 250 litres of illicit liquor were seized and disposed off in the state's Tiruchirapalli district.

It is pertinent to mention that the RJD-JDU-led Bihar government's amendments in November last year, based on a state-wide caste census, increased reservations to 20% for Scheduled Castes, 2% for Scheduled Tribes, 18% for Other Backward Classes, and 25% for Extremely Backward Classes, with an additional 10% for the Economically Weaker Sections, bringing the total to 75%.

Meanwhile, the second day of the Tamil Nadu Assembly Session began in Chennai on Friday with a ruckus as AIADMK legislators sporting black clothes raised slogans inside the House over the hooch tragedy in Kallakurichi.

Chief Minister MK Stalin expressed shock over the deaths and said that action had been taken against officials who failed to prevent it.

Notorious for giving controversial speeches, Krishnamurthy triggered a controversy after his derogatory remarks for PM Modi, Annamalai, and other BJP leaders.

The Tamil Nadu govt-constituted Committee has made an array of anti-Hindu recommendations to eliminate 'casteism' in schools and colleges.

“Instead of killing an innocent goat, if DMK is so angry, come to me, I’m here only…” Annamalai said adding that the goat could have been spared.

Responding to DMK's constant mocking of him as 'goat', Annamalai had acknowledged that his family rears goats and his parents have raised him by selling goats. So he feels no shame in being compared to goats.

According to the Axis My India exit poll, the BJP-led NDA is expected to win 2-4 seats in Tamil Nadu. The INDIA bloc, which has both DMK and Congress in it, is set to win 33-37 seats.
