Vinayagar idols depicting Tamil Nadu CM Vijay: BJP leader Nainar Nagenthran seeks arrest of TVK functionaries
Mr. Nagenthran said transforming a religious icon revered and worshipped by millions of people for the purpose of promoting an individual and for political publicity demeaned spiritual sentiments of the people.
On September 13, Ayan Reddiapatti village, the hometown of Tamil Nadu Social Justice Minister Vanni Arasu, finally received government-provided bus service for the first time since India's independence. Arasu announced the milestone via social media, recounting how the village celebrated the arrival of direct public transportation on the same day it marked its 81st year of existence after gaining independence.
The VCK Deputy General Secretary detailed the warm welcome provided by residents and elders from various backgrounds, who gathered to honor the inaugural bus by adorning it with flowers and waving flags. Arasu described the scene as a testament to social harmony, comparing the villagers' jubilant celebration to their experience of a new-found freedom.
Reflecting on the personal significance of this occasion, Arasu recalled how his late parents had consistently urged him to contribute to the welfare of their village. Fulfilling their long-standing wish in their absence and witnessing the exuberant joy of the local community brought him considerable solace. Additionally, Arasu extended his gratitude on behalf of the villagers to Tamil Nadu Chief Minister C Joseph Vijay and Transport Minister A Vijay Thamizhan Parthiban for facilitating the implementation of the bus service.
