  "account": "On September 7, 2026, Tamil Nadu Chief Minister C. Joseph Vijay expressed his concern over obscene and misogynistic remarks targeting women. He questioned the party's continuing support if they lacked the mindset to accept the people's verdict. Vijay recalled a senior DMK leader's comment that people would \"not have a good death\" if they did not vote for the DMK, despite the same people voting for the DMK for nearly 50 years.\n\nThe Chief Minister, deviating from his prepared text, launched a scathing attack on the DMK during a grant demand for the Police and Fire and Rescue Services departments. He emphasized the need to maintain political decency and decorum, particularly in light of disrespectful and hateful speeches directed at women. Vijay warned that such remarks would not be tolerated, as women are their mothers and sisters.\n\nHe ridiculed claims by senior DMK leaders about facing the MISA during the Emergency period, stating that everyone knew the history behind it. Vijay quoted late poet Kannadasan, saying the DMK was accustomed to uttering lies and keeping their pocket lined with collected funds. He assured that the TVK government would not be identified with any individual, but rather with the Tamil people, whose welfare would remain their top priority.",
