  "account": "Edappadi K. Palaniswami, the AIADMK general secretary, has urged the Tamil Nadu government to revert the recent price hike in dairy by-products. He criticized the government's actions, stating that it functioned like a \"corporate villain\" in feature films. Palaniswami questioned the reasoning behind raising prices during Deepavali, when people usually purchase more ghee and sweets.\n\nAMMK founder T.T.V. Dhinakaran also expressed shock over the price increase, believing it placed an additional economic burden on individuals already struggling with inflation. He wondered if the hike stemmed from Chief Minister C. Joseph Vijay's visit to a dairy plant recently. Both leaders have called upon the government to roll back the price hike on dairy by-products.",
