Notably, it is the first time that Rajinikanth has met Governor RN Ravi privately. The superstar said that the meeting with the Governor was a courtesy call.

Though the policy recommends a three-language system, the minister said that the state government has been resolute in implementing a two-language system. 

Chief Minister MK Stalin announced that the Governor has forwarded the NEET exemption Bill for the President's assent.

The Chief Minister will be finalizing the Vice-Chancellor from the three names that were shortlisted by the search committee.

The latest attack on the Governor by the Chief Minister has come when the DMK government has adopted a Bill restricting the Governor's powers in appointing the Vice-Chancellors.

Tamil Nadu Minister for Higher Education K Ponmudy had tabled the Bill to amend the Tamil Nadu Universities Laws to allow the state government to appoint the Vice-Chancellors. 

From the Communist party to several Dravidian outfits, the parties have voiced against RN Ravi's visit while the BJP has been countering such criticisms. 

Governor Ravi's idling approach towards the Bill was a major reason why the Tamil Nadu government has decided to boycott the tea party.

After the meeting, minister Thangam Tennarasu has announced that the Tamil Nadu government will boycott the tea party organized by the Governor. 

The meeting had the presence of the representations of several parties while the BJP and ADMK had boycotted the meeting.
