TN- A police state
The reported pickup of renowned economist Kalaiarasan raises serious concerns about civil liberties, democratic rights, and police accountability.
In a democracy, people must not be made to fear the very institutions meant to protect them. If the law has been followed, let the authorities explain the circumstances transparently.
DEMOCRACY IS NOT ABOUT SILENCING VOICES.
DISSENT IS NOT A CRIME.
ACCOUNTABILITY IS NOT OPTIONAL.
Tamil Nadu deserves answers, transparency, and justice — not fear and intimidation.

Page - 1 story in @businessline today. How far is the petrol price hike ?
the price L1 gave was 0.24 +GST. Your paymasters should either agree with the same or reduce it by negotiation. how did your paymasters end up in negotiation with L4 ?
Hi venom, there’s a limit to stay anonymous and support the wrong doing of @CMOTamilnadu -led government. Are you telling me that inside 7 hours all samples were food tested and result were declared ?
If yes, this is the most efficient government in the whole world! Congratulations!
Utter nonsense again, justifying wrong doing by TVK. Read Page 5 — Clause 12: Price Scrutiny, L1 Determination & Negotiations: “Scrutiny of rates and price negotiation with the Lowest Responsive Bidder (L1).” Where does it say, “Let’s discuss with my buddy L4 who is the greatest tenderer of all time ?”
Just when I thought I will let this corrupt practice pass there’s this anonymous handle justifying wrong doing by @TVKVijayHQ. Sebbaaa. Dei, tender documents padi da

A Category C history sheeter was hacked to death in broad daylight on Indira Nagar Main Road, Adyar today. Such open gang violence in a busy Chennai area raises serious questions about law and order under the @TVKPartyHQ government. Police action after the fact is not enough. Residents deserve streets free of this kind of brazen crime.

📺 “We reported events one-sidedly for years”: Serbian TV apologizes to viewers after Vučić's party loses the election
Radio Television of Vojvodina (RTV) opened its news broadcast with footage of celebrations following the Student List's election victory — scenes it had failed to show the previous evening.
“For years, we failed to fulfill our duty. We kept silent, turned a blind eye, reported events one-sidedly, and failed to ask the necessary questions. For that, we owe our viewers an apology,” news anchor Goran Eror said.
Following the controversy, RTV's acting editor-in-chief Nenad Čačić resigned.
A similar incident occurred in Hungary, where state television also apologized to viewers after Viktor Orbán's election defeat.

The cake mystery continues to haunt people of Tamilnadu. @CMOTamilnadu pls answer. @Chief_Secy_TN @TVKVijayHQ @TVKPartyHQ
Cake story continues: The entire tender process, from publication to financial bid opening, took less than seven days. Does @CMOTamilnadu know that there’s a Tamil Nadu Transparency in Tenders Rules, 2000 ? Under Rule 20 there is a specific timeline allowed for such short tender notices - a 15-day period (for under Rs.10 crore) from publication in the relevant Tender Bulletin or newspapers, whichever is later, NOT from the portal upload date.
Why was this rule flouted @TVKVijayHQ ?

Troll army is the cherry on the cake.
More and more on the cake 🧁 story ( I have an endless supply of 🍰 stories, my dear TVK trolls):
Technical bids opened at 11 am on D day. (Violation of Tenders in Transparency Act here for not following the period specified for tenders)
Incredibly, financial bids were opened by 6:35 pm, I am told ! Am I wrong, paid trolls ?
If I am correct, then, the interval between the opening of technical bids and financial bids was 7 hours and 35 minutes. Is this a record in Tamilnadu government for all time ?
Given that six bidders participated and two were reportedly rejected for sample nonconformity, the evaluation records should establish when and how samples were assessed.
(Why was the L4 leeway - calling the bidder for a very unusual meeting requesting him to match L1 - not extended to @Amul_Coop, an established player in the market across India and South Asia ?)
Can we have these details via your troll Army @TVKVijayHQ or will the government make available these details, @CMOTamilnadu ?
