· India · Hindustan Times, Times of India
AIADMK general secretary Edappadi K. Palaniswami sarcastically remarked that Tamil Nadu Chief Minister C. Joseph Vijay could even become the US President in response to supporters backing him for the prime ministerial post. Palaniswami also criticized the current administration's reliance on social media 'reels' to govern, labeling Vijay a 'costly chief minister'. He further alleged a collapse in law and order, citing nine murders in Coimbatore within a single month. Meanwhile, Congress leaders in Tamil Nadu have threatened to resign from the state cabinet if the TVK does not support Rahul Gandhi for the 2029 prime ministerial candidacy.
