Vote chori, SIR and the rest could make the ECI's drama the longest-running crime series across print and visual media. #SIR #ECI
Exclusive. ECI’s internal records of 2024 elections: On 51 seats of Maharashtra, Haryana and J&K, votes counted differed from votes cast. ECI rules say such mismatch should trigger probe into possible rigging.

It's not the scam itself that's shocking. The temerity with which the 'party' concerned asks for DVAC probe, judicial intervention etc shows us how *+@#ed up the entire system is. #Libraryscam #PeriyarArivulagam
Economist Jean Drèze on Sunday (November 8, 2026) said an English-language book attributed to him as the author and allegedly found in some public libraries of Tamil Nadu is “fake”.

A blanket of thick smog hangs over the city. Visibility is very very poor. Zero enforcement of curbs. Very disappointing. #ChennaiCity #Diwali @Tnpcbofficial @CMOTamilnadu

1st part was scholarly. Given Kurian's/Shetty's brilliance won't be surprised even if 2nd part is ready. If there's still work DMK should help its completion. Party owes it to itself as it's been championing the cause of true federalism for years. @the_hindu @Rajalakshmi2398
Disbanding the committee without even publishing Part II is not a fair decision. Just imagine the amount of hard work the entire team would have put in. The government should have thought twice before taking such a decision. It is a genuine concern, and the efforts of the team deserve to be acknowledged.

Frontline starts a news series titled DATA ROOM, where @nvgeetha will analyse data across categories to trace the patterns that emerge. In this one, she studies a series of protest movements--when do they succeed and what happens afterwards.

BREAKING: Not E20 fuel , but E 31.2 fuel
Karnataka govt’s petrol tests find ethanol blending above 20% in samples from seven districts.
The state tested 63 petrol samples collected across Karnataka from major oil companies, including IOCL, HPCL, BPCL, Shell and Nayara.
After oil marketing companies failed to clearly disclose ethanol content, the government sent the samples to private labs.
Results of Ethanol blend :
IOCL: 31.2%+
HPCL: 30.5%
HPCL: 27%
BPCL: 26.5%
Nayara: 26.1%
Shell: 25.5%
Bengaluru was among the seven districts where samples exceeded the 20% ethanol limit.
Karnataka will send its report to the Centre.

REPOST | "The most dangerous moment in an AI security incident may not be when an agent escapes its environment, but the period while humans still believe it is contained," futurologist Rocky Scopelliti tells @frontline_india.
Are Indian enterprises ready for autonomous AI threats? @nvgeetha breaks down CERT-In’s latest warnings.

Rishikanth may look like Rajinikanth, but he is not Rajinikanth. Similarly, the Express story may look like The Hindu story, but it is not The Hindu story. @IndianExpress is this your defence? #Dorothy #Rajinikanth @the_hindu
The @IndianExpress has reproduced and reworked substantial portions of an exclusive interview with actor Rishikanth, conducted by The Hindu's @srinivasjam at our Chennai office. It has also used a photograph from the accompanying photoshoot by our photographer, @thamodharran, without permission or credit.
Quoting an exclusive interview is standard journalistic practice. Reproducing virtually an entire story, even with portions reworded, is not.
We find this disregard for original reporting and photography deeply disappointing. Credit where it is due is a basic tenet of journalism.

The escapes shouldn't come in the way of much-needed prison reforms. Beef up security by all means, but don't perpetuate a culture of violence that targets prisoners sans political heft and favors gangs/ individuals who run a parallel govt inside. @tnpoliceoffl @CMOTamilnadu

NEW | At a time when deficient rainfall has prompted many States to declare drought and call for the judicious use of water, they are also rolling out the red carpet for water-guzzling data centres. The irony could not be starker.

Of course this has nothing to do with Saurav's crusade against the rotting soul of the judiciary. #CJP #judiciary #MadrasHC

If it is only for jailbreak it's indeed an ill-advised/knee-jerk move. Funnily many people flaying the govt for this are also the ones who are pushing the narrative that prisoners chose to escape only bcos it's the "inept" TVK in power. What logic is this bro? #SandeepRaiRathore

It is not the gravity or depravity of the alleged crime, but who your co-accused are, that determines whether you are punished or rewarded. Murugan should know that by now. #hardeepsinghpuri #BJP #RajyaSabha

I don't know what is more revolting. Demanding bribe as some kind of birth right, as some of the complainants have charged, or trying to paint the Minister as a victim of political vendetta given his stand against NEP. #AnbilMahesh #TNPolitics #NEP
#BREAKING Former School Education Minister Anbil Mahesh Poyyyamozhi remanded to judicial custody till November 6, 2026. Earlier in the day, Justice V. Lakshminarayanan of #MadrasHighCourt had denied him anticipatory bail after observing that the final destination of over ₹400 crore of alleged 'party fund' collected from more than 177 private school managements can be ascertained only if he is arrested and subjected to custodial interrogation. @THChennai thehindu.com/news/national/t…
