Madurai (Tamil Nadu) [India], July 1 (ANI): The Madurai Bench of the Madras High Court on Thursday dismissed a plea seeking direction to stop the Chief Minister and other ministers from using the term "Union Government" instead of Central Government.
Dismissing the petition, Justice Sivagnanam stated that the Court cannot direct the Chief Minister or his cabinet on the usage.
After the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) government took charge in the state, the Tamil Nadu government refers the Central Government as "Ondriya Arasu" (Union Government).
Tamil Nadu BJP has raised an objection to this nomenclature and has accused DMK of promoting separatism.
Speaking in the Legislative Assembly, BJP MLA Nainar Nagendran had alleged that the Tamil Nadu government's use of the term 'Union' raises doubts about a "hidden agenda".
On this, Chief Minister MK Stalin had said that there is nothing wrong in referring to the Centre as the Union government. (ANI)

TMC's jibe at Centre amid LPG crisis due to West Asia conflict

In an 'X' post, TMC said the government has "ek hi naara, line mein rahe desh bechara," pointing to past governmental measures including demonetisation, the COVID-19 vaccine rollout, the Special Identification Registration (SIR), and now the LPG shortage. The party described demonetisation as a "Tughlaqi farman" that forced ordinary citizens to wait in serpentine queues outside banks and ATMs for days to access their own money. The post also highlighted the 2020 COVID-19 oxygen crisis, when families stood in long lines outside hospitals and suppliers as the public health system collapsed.
