  "account": "DMK president M.K. Stalin claimed on Saturday that a \"corporate mafia government\" is governing Tamil Nadu, controlled by an unknown individual. He criticized the transparency and decision-making process behind the scenes. Stalin alleged that the Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) had accepted former AIADMK ministers facing corruption cases, calling it a \"washing\" process. He questioned the government's decision to cancel the Parandur Airport Project and to hand over Chennai airport to private operators, suggesting it was not a clean government. Stalin accused a \"mafia\" of seizing control of the government to divert investments to Andhra Pradesh. He also criticized Chief Minister C. Joseph Vijay for not addressing the demand for the Chief Election Commissioner's resignation. Stalin stated that the DMK's leaders should acknowledge their defeat and reject the TVK's claim of a wave of support. He warned voters had been misled, and the DMK had lost votes due to the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls.",
  "summary": "He says the “real face” of the TVK will soon be exposed and people will come to know who is in a “secret alliance” with the BJP at the Centre",
