In a significant political move, AIADMK General Secretary Edappadi K Palaniswami unveiled a fresh set of promises aimed at securing votes in the upcoming state elections. Key among these pledges is an increase in social security pensions, with senior citizens, widows, destitutes, differently-abled persons, and transgenders set to receive Rs 2,000 monthly.

Addressing concerns over alleged corruption, Palaniswami defended the integrity of his leadership, pointing to legal vindication. He critiqued TVK Founder-Chief Vijay for not engaging with pressing issues post the Karur tragedy.
