  "account": "BJP State president Nainar Nagenthran has criticized the TVK-led government for its alleged inefficiency in preparing for the monsoon season. He pointed out the issue of rainwater stagnation in various parts of Chennai, despite a weather advisory, which he believes is a result of the government's lack of precautionary measures. The damage caused by the heavy rain at the international air terminus, GST Road, Ganesapuram subway, as well as several arterial roads and areas in Tambaram, is a clear indication of the government's inaction, Mr. Nagenthran stated. Chief Minister C. Joseph Vijay needs to understand that administration is about standing with the people to address their grievances, the BJP leader added.",
