On his remark of advocating that Tamil Nadu must be called Tamizhagam, Governor Ravi remained tight-lipped amidst the growing protests and when the outrage was heightening, he has now given a clarification.

The meeting that was held on Monday has drawn a sharp attention and sparked speculations on whether Alagiri is making a political comeback. 

A month after becoming a minister, Udhayanidhi Stalin has now met MK Alagiri in Madurai for the first time in several years.

His visit will also come when the ruling DMK government and its allied parties have been stepping up their dissent against the Governor, urging him to step down from the post.

The DMK has used the prospect of the Pongal occasion to display their dissents to the Governor through the state's traditional kolams or rangolis.

His speech has been getting shared rampantly by the DMK members as it has become yet another direct attack from Stalin on the Governor in days time. 

As the DMK and its allied parties are coming down hard on the Governor for his contentious conduct in the assembly, a DMK leader has now courted a fresh controversy which stirred a row. 

Tamil Nadu is nearly a fortnight into the New Year but recorded what has been historical events that the state has never witnessed before.  

Prime Minister Narendra Modi took to Twitter and wrote, "Pained by the passing away of Shri Sharad Yadav Ji. In his long years in public life, he distinguished himself as MP and Minister."

To complete the project, a deepwater channel measuring 83.2 kilometres will be dug from the shallow Palk Strait to the Gulf of Mannar.
